If the iraqi rabble wont behave, they need a quick trip to allah via a hard rain of steel from the sky.

AC-130s practicing out of Eglin make for a fantastic fireworks show while you're out in the wet.

Horrible writing in this article. The AC-130 didn't enter service until well after Vietnam was over. The AC-47 "Spooky" was the aircraft used in Vietnam.

Derived from the WWII era C-47 a mid 1930's airliner, one of the most enduring airplanes ever conceived.

Spooky, Puff the Magic Dragon or just plain old Puff. No matter what you call it this will definitely put some hurt on the enemy.
God bless our troops wherever they may be.
