Just heard a military guy on Fox say that the C-130 is known a 'SPOOKY.'

blam--

C-130H = Spectre

C-130U = Spooky

Spooky is an upgraded Airforce weapons platform that can attack more than one target at a time, upgraded everything, more deadly, MUCH longer loiter time, etc.,etc. The beast got better and more deadly. Spooky GENERALLY supports AF special ops ON THE GROUND. Generally ...

The "official" name for them is "Spectre". I've heard them called Spooky before too though. Either one is fairly descriptive. :)

Guy on Fox is wrong. AC130 was and is "Spectre", played loader on one twice in '71.
