The well-informed, deeply researching author of this article refers to C-130 Spectre's as Puff the Magic Dragons, with cannons in their bellies. I think the folks who flew C-47s might have something to say about the two extra engines added to their gunships.
I would discount this article entirely. It is apparently NOT written by anyone close to being a military authority.

I caught that, and was confused for a moment – because the AC-130 is also know as Spooky II.
