RICHARD GATLING would be so proud today - AC-130 GUN SHIP

[Cheese Noodles]

Awesome is correct. Got to tour one getting retrofitted in the 1980s and I to see the 40mm Bofors & 105 Howitzer sticking out the side was awesome. I was a WWII buff and commented on these weapons are still in service. If I remember, one of the people in the know confirmed they had used vintage WWII ammo in live fire practice. Nice to see the upgrades and I hope we keep them in service. My hats off to the crew, they were very proud to show off their gunship.

I started on the mortar line using WW2 marked M43A1 HE bombs...with Korea war issue fuze C17... That doesn't seem out of place to me...
