Thought you'd like a break from the News and watch some real Fire Power. Watch the Video and you'll see the inside of the plane were crew actually load some of the ammunition into the cannons. Awesome.

They pack a tremendous punch but also have a glass jaw.

This one from Hurlburt was flying around my house.

Thank you, I enjoy war porn.

I read somewhere that the sight of this particular gunship, approaching and firing, is the most terrifying sight on earth. I never forgot that, and it still seems like a true statement.

[MtnClimber]

Very impressive!

[trebb]

The guns actually push the plane sideways and “uphill” when firing. Once heard that if they strafe a football field size area with a rabbit anywhere on it, the rabbit is pink spray....

My gun crew’s personal record with the 105mm was five shots in the air at one time. Time of flight was a little over 9 seconds. They got the last one off just as the first one impacted.

And, it only cost me a case of beer per gunner (all four of them)!

A flying artillery battery. In conjunction with A-10 Warthogs, a most fearsome weapon to bring to bear on advancing troop columns and convoys.

Fly real slow.....’n turn to the left.

130 is a fantastic ac no matter how it is configured

[Fester Chugabrew]

BUMP! That was great. Thanks for posting.

That’s great seeing the crews feed the guns and cannon. It always strikes me as odd that there is a man in the loop to feed these things. All the automation for fire control and aiming, but the feed is a manual process. I’ve read how unreliable auto-feeders are in tanks...must be the same in aircraft as well.

A dozen of these patrolling the southern border would instantly end all illegal border crossings.

That’s one bad ass dude. Glad he’s on our side.

PUFF or known as callsign 'Spooky Dragonship' firing on VC rocket site outside Redcatcher Brigade base the first night of TET 68. The AC130's little brother was the venerable old Gooney Bird C47, loved by us on the ground needing it.

[Spacetrucker]

AC-130’s are good workhorse planes and function well as gunships but I’d much rather see a couple A-10’s layin down the law, now THAT would be psy-ops to the extreme :-)

[knarf]

I have never been inside like that before !

Amazing

Just like going to work in a factory ... I kept expecting the steam lunch whistle !

[Uncle Sam 911]

...an aircraft that can win wars by itself.... No aircraft has ever won a war by itself.

[Chode]

the middle child always gets ignored... the AC-119K Stinger with it's four miniguns and two Vulcans rained it's own kind of hell

[mylife]

Get some!

[PGalt]

WOW! Thanks.
