AC-130J

I spent an evening in a similar aircraft on a training run, flying over Arkansas.

It was equipped with the 105mm Bofors and some sort of Gatling type gun.

I regret not taking the opportunity to hang out over the open loading ramp... I chickened out.

If the truck driver they were looking at knew how quickly he could have been dead meat, he would have crapped his pants. (It takes multiple permissions before the pilot of the aircraft could push the button to fire the weapons.)

Videos like that are rare because these things operate at night because of defensive reasons... to low and too slow.

It is a devastating aircraft for sure!
