I didn't realize that they had changed the designation on them. I did read that they put the 25mm in so they can do it from a higher altitude.

The original spooky is the AC-47. THe Specter uses a Hurcules as its basis, while the Spooky was a Skytrain (or Dakota or Gooney Gird).

During the Battle of Khafji, a Specter was shot down, killing all 14 of its crew.
