The U.S. Air Force has begun moving heavily armed AC-130 airplanes — the lethal "flying gunships" of the Vietnam War

Hell, if they think they were lethal in Vietnam, they should get a load of them now!!!!! AF gunners bump!

"Say hello to my little friend"

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.

I was just down at Hurlburt Field recently on C130 business, as a matter of fact. Iraqi insurgents probably will need several additional changes of underwear.

Thank goodness the Associated Press continues to do free intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance work for the enemy.
