Hey. I'm new here and I apologize for the vanity post, but I'd like to interview people with AC-130 experience. I'm working on a story and need an objective opinion. The deadline is 10-16-08. Thanks.


TOPICS: VetsCoR
KEYWORDS: ac130; aircraft; engineers; pilots

I thought you were going to say that yours was broken and you needed advice to fix it.

Good luck with the interview!

Hey, at least she's not asking for ammo.

He hasn't asked anything yet. You never know.

I know all I need to know about one cause I seen it once. You can't hear it coming and if you see anything, it's too late. All you see is a laser line from the sky to the ground and stuff flying all around. About a second later, you hear something sounding sorta like a fart. That's the "little gun". the bigger guns, well, they are even funner.

you can look for some Republican Guard or Taliban with AC-130 experience, but probably not the kind of experience you are looking for.

Most are probably dead also....

Loads of experience since 1975 on AC-130’s and the DOD security clearances required to possess all of the information you want. How about if I refer your question to the FBI troll?

Objective Opinion: Cool aircraft with fantastic capabilities. Anything else?

Hah, flew from Nam to Okinawa to Iwakuni Japan once, talk about tourist class.
try sitting on a web seat with someone else’s knee between your own and cig filters in your ears.

Ah the good old days.

Oooorah!
