[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 978885, member: 52972"] I flew on a few C130's in Vietnam and they are a very rugged, dependable aircraft. But even better is the AC130 Gunship. It's the upgrade to the old AC47 "Puff the Magic Dragon" of the Vietnam era....a modified C47 (DC6) with twin GE Electric gattling guns. The original Lockheed C130 has been modified by Boeing into the AC130 with two 20mm gattling guns, a 40mm rotary cannon, and the big gun is a 105mm Howitzer cannon all mounted on an aerial platform. YouTube has plenty of videos of the AC130 in action over Afghanistan...here is a link to an example. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
