Good video. But I have to admit that the timing of showing a C-5 (?) taking off and then the WTC wasn't the best of editing......
Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

Yeah, but I'll take a AC-130 Spooky if I were on the ground I think. I think the C-130 shooting the flares might have been on but I couldn't see if it had the artillery mounted on it. Those things just slow orbit the target until everything is gone. I think it would be the greatest sound if you were U.S. troops and scary as heck if you weren't. Originally Posted by Cat_Doc

and preferably a single seat..

I didn't recognize it, but General Buck was a bit on the wild side, wasn't he?

Dang, that was lucky. (okay, that is mixed up but that guy always played the same character, Maj. "King" Kong). Somehow I don't think even the Marine Corps lets you replace your helmet with a cowboy hat on the way to the primary. Originally Posted by marinepilot

I remember when they were mounted on C-47's and called Puff, the Magic Dragon. The pilots would unsync the engines at night and they would make this ungodly noise as they approached, you couldn't tell where they were until the Westinghouse electric gatling guns opened up. It was like a solid stream of fire. They were scary. Originally Posted by MikeG

Like the B-52's of today, the planes were older than most of the crew.Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

Yup.Yeah, but I'll take a AC-130 Spooky if I were on the ground I think.
A fast mover with an ordinance load is like a guardian angel to troops on the ground, however, an AC-130 is GOD.
