LOL..no problem...I lived 45 minutes from Pope AFB...and we'd have the regular C-130s flying over all the time at seemingly treetop level.
Once saw a lone C-130 with two close fighter escort...
I never want to know what was on that flight.
;)
What's amazing is the firepower those things have. The firepower it has is the reason most of the time you see footage of them firing they are firing on the inside of the bank they're making. The sheer force of the rounds cause the plane to want to yaw away from the muzzle. They create a doughnut of fire and destruction. Forget the 2 20mm Vulcan cannons...the 25mm Gatling gun...the Bofors cannons (ww2 era weaponry...good stuff still with a bit of modification)...It's got not only a 105mm howitzer but a 105mm cannon to boot.
Bad a$$ CAS machine.
