Looking up some info on the AC-130 and from your description I would say that you're correct. The vehicle taking the video seems to be circling the site and keeping it on its left side while pretty much raining down hell onto the target. Also, they were pretty far from the target itself, they mentioned being "6 miles out" a short time before engaging.

I can only get the video. Can someone help me do whatever I need to see this piece of video?

I'm in agreement with you. And, when I play back the video again, that sure sounds like prop noise in the background. I assumed that this video was taken from a predator drone at first, but I think it's definitely AC-130 now.

Someone mentions " a KFOR tunnel entrance" I think -- I wonder if this was filmed in Bosnia??

They also mention "Highway 4" -- I don't know if Afghanistan has such named highways -- I have read that the streets in the cities have no names -- perhaps the roads don't either...

Check out the Spooky II

Capabilities like this are what makes the US a superpower. What we need is 500 aerial gun platforms, powered by some type of engines that do not require refueling, like nuclear, or space-based energy beams, with a flat-top fusilage for conventional aircraft to land on, and we could establish Pax Americana upon the whole planet. Don't you just love global hegemony?
