AC-130J: What I want for my birthday.....

[Devildoc]

I think I found my new favorite thing. I'd love to see this in action:

Meet the Air Force's 'ultimate battle plane' and your new close-air support

 

[Grunt]

That thing will certainly rain down some pain from above!

There is absolutely nothing to "not like" about that beast!

The J frame might be the platform I get assigned to out of 3 level school before SERE. I have a close personal friend who works J frames at the schoolhouse on Herby and he loves it. While I am working hard to get into a helo platform, either 60 or 22, the AC130 is a high possibility for any and all brand new Special Missions Aviators.

The AC130 is such a ridiculous and cool idea. It's like someone took a 10 year old's drawing of warplane bristling with guns and said "Fuck it, let's do this."

Take a transport plane and throw a minigun on it! "Cool, but not quite there."
Okay, uh....how about an APC chaingun? With exploding rounds? "Almost....you're almost there."
Fuck it, put an artillery piece on the bitch. Let the engineers figure it out. "HELL YEAH BUDDY!"


EDIT: Now this new one has a bigger gun, missiles, bombs, and LASERS

I love how the article states that it could eventually be fitted with a laser. It's almost as if those kids that fried ants with their glasses when they were younger were destined for this job.

The J will be a great thing if whoever becomes President or Secretary of State lets it rock when dudes on the ground are up shit alley and may die without it.
