Quote from the above website on AC-119 gunships,

With the advantage of hindsight, however, it can be argued that the truest testimony of the AC-119s' worth is not measured on engine performance charts, The most obvious sign of success was when a GI on the ground, about to be overrun by VC troops, told the FAC pilot "F#@%! the F-4s - Get me a Shadow!

I wonder what the Viet Cong/ NVA called them. Nothing we can post, no doubt!

AC-119 gunships yeah!
I used sit up at night and watch these practice at Camp Attabury in Indiana during the the late 60s.
Awesome sights and sounds.
