I would suspect that Spooky is on station to provide a quick trip to hell for the terrorists.
Reported on FNC, AC130's are in the fight.
Here's a little night music for ya:
Spooky Lyrics
In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,
We call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and bomb some bad guys,
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say, "All right."
War is kinda groovy with a spooky bombin' plane like you.
You always keep them guessin', they never seem to know where you are hidin'.
And if a bad guy looks at you, it's for sure your cannons will be a-winkin'.
They get confused, 'cause they don't know where you are,
And then you smile, and light up the sky.
War is kinda crazy with a spooky bombin' plane like you.
Spooky!
If you decide someday to stop this little war that they are playin',
They're gonna tell you what their mullah's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' their dreams,
So bomb 'em to hell... on Paddy's Day.
War is kinda groovy with a spooky little plane like you.
