"Do you see that entire enemy camp down there." "Yes sir." "Change that."
It started in Vietnam with an old C-47 (DC-3), with a mini gun. It was called "Puff the Magic Dragon". Later "Spooky" They upgraded to an old C-130 cargo plane. It worked pretty damn good. Nothing succeeds like excess. A few generations later it became the AC-130 "Specter". It does require air superiority in the area.

The ac130 “angel of death” uses a two pilot one gunner 4 loader crew. The three people you see in the cockpit are the two pilots and one gunner. The copilot can also be a gunner if necessary. I live near an air base so ive seen quite a few of these aircrafts before and even been inside one and i can tell you its a surreal experience.

As an American, I'm pleased to have it on our planes. It's very very good.
This was called Puff The Magic Dragon, back in the 1960s in Vietnam. I think they started with a DC-3, then changed over to the C-130. This aircraft is mainly flown at night, I believe it's painted black, with no lights, they fly at 3,000 to 5,000 feet. It's military, so procedures are always being adapted for being more lethal. Also, maximum damage, but not losing the aircraft, and of course, nobody wants to lose any crew members. Thus, change and modify to be as lethal as possible, maintain such an air asset, and grow crew skills without losing individuals. I remember some aviation aircrew training at Hulbert Field, there is a gun on that aircraft that sounds like paper tearing, it doesn't sound like a gun, sounds like tearing paper for like 8 or 10 seconds. In the US, if you want and try hard enough, you can do friendly nation training. Actually, get assigned to a foreign military for a single rotational deployment. If done correctly, it can be a great bullet on your training record, thus actually helping with being promoted. Combined with higher education, you leave the military an extremely desired and highly trained individual with field experience.
I was not a gunship guy, but many of my friends were (we are all retired now). When I was the AFSOC Liaison Officer to the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center & School (SWCS) I gave the AFSOC briefing to the SF qualification course and acted as the "aircrew" during the isolation/planning phase of training. As I told them years ago - The first and most important thing the gunship wants to know is where you are. There are numerous ways to do that, but let's just assume you have gotten that done. They know where you are. The second thing is the gunship sensor operators (two of them, one fire control officer, and a navigator) want to find you on their sensors. Once they have done that... the third thing... they want to know the targets in reference to your position (clock position and distance) - no ten digit grid coordinates. Years ago we had AC-130A aircraft in the reserves and AC-130H aircraft active duty at Hurlburt. I acted as a controller during an exercise and rode in the sensor booth for four sorties (about 20 hours total). It may have changed a bit and the sensors are much better, but I would be willing to bet that no Aircraft Commander (he is the one who pulls the trigger) is going to fire onto coordinates. So, the sensor operators work something like this - One sensor operator keeps his sensor (he can switch between several) on you. What I saw was the good guys said the target is at 2 o'clock for about 100 meters, on the far side of the road. The second sensor operator who go to the good guy position, follow the road and get to the 2 o'clock position and find the target. In the compound clearing process from your videos, it gets more simple because once the gunship is on target, it is game on, BUT they still want to know where the good guys are. In your video the rotating gun that you see from inside is more than likely the 30mm on a AC-130J. To the best of my knowledge the 105 and 40mm configuration on the J is the same as the H - 105 howitzer sticking out the left paratroop door. Does not use a standard 105 round... uses a crimped round so the projectile won't fall out before firing (what I was told). Just forward of that is the 40 mm bofors canon, fed with four or five round clips. I was a C-130 and MC-130 guy, but, as I said many of my buddies were gunship guys. I didn't see any gunship guys commenting, so I figured I would help. Great videos. Keep up the good work.

The HC-130 was first used In 1960's Vietnam, they were called "Spooky" or "Puff The Magic Dragon". As a Veteran of that conflict, I can personally say this plane saved hundreds of thousands of our troops. Their operations included suppression of VC & NVA attacking many of the Firebases. Additionally, they worked the Ho Chi Min Trail where the NVA brought troops and equipment from North Vietnam into South Vietnam. With their capability of finding the enemy through their IR cameras, working over the Trail was Death from above to the trucks loaded with supplies, tanks, artillery, and troops. Many were lost due to AA & missiles, but they were a unsung hero in my war.

As per your question on how the crew on the AC 130 are able to differentiate friendly vs foe… the Americans on the ground do have communication links to the gunship overhead, but we also have strobes on all friendlies working with ground troops. The interesting thing about the strobes is you can’t see them with your naked eye but it is visible via night vision and other technologies. Very very cool!

The inspiration for the AC-130 must have been the Douglas AC-47 Spooky (also nicknamed "Puff, the Magic Dragon"), back during the Viet Nam war. A Puff could in one ten-second burst put a 7.62 mm round into every square yard [meter] in an area the size of a football pitch. Anti-infantry close air support weapon.

In '99 I did a major revision of the technical manuals for this aircraft. It is an awesome aircraft.
The most impressive part of the AC-130 is the very sophisticated targeting system. Which is shown in some of the documentaries about the plane. 3 people in cockpit 3 people servicing & loading guns 2 to 4 people controlling comms & targetting.

It was developed in Vietnam as "Spooky" with smaller guns at first to suppress NVA and Viet Cong troops hidden in the jungle. It was first mounted on a C-40 WWII airframe. It proved so useful that the platform was moved to the much larger C-130, called the AC-130. The system was improved and incorporated into battle tactical plans. Very effective enemy suppression in rough terrain as well as jungle.
The AC-130 is an airborne artillery platform is what they call it. It acts as air support, so when troops on the ground mark a position, the AC130 lights it up. So you have an air strike on command for an extended period. Instead of having to wait for individual planes to refuel and return, the AC 130 can hit all kinds of targets for a long period. Its genius frankly, but only works once we have air superiority, or it could be shot down.

Actually, the plane developed out of the Vietnam war. The original plane was a smaller AC-47 with mini-guns (7.62 mm ). It was developed because the plane could loiter longer at night and provide firepower for Special Forces camps against infantry attacks. Later, someone got the idea to attack trucks along the Ho Chi Minh trail, which the main targets were trucks. This required larger guns. In addition, they fought with the anti-aircraft batteries along the Trail. Eventually, the North Vietnamese deployed surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) making it too dangerous for the AC-130s. The U. S. Air Force realized the airplane was still useful in other combat situations and kept it and updated it.
You are a genuine hoot. Keep it up.

No. It’s to support our infantry in battle. No one randomly said “hey I’m bored so lets build a fucking plane with massive guns”.
I live near an Military base, and Ive seen F-22s and AC 130s take off. One of the ladies i even work with at my job, her husband's a Raptor pilot. Hes retired this summer 2023. But fun Military career 🎉
During the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam the AC-130 was lovingly called 'Puff the Dragon' and had been a semi-close support aircraft. The fire control is in the aircraft and there are some crew members that hand load the 105 and the 40.
Soldier: "Angel Of Death above, see that building?" *Gunshots ring out from above* Soldier 2: "What building?"
The U.S. army has infrared "friend or foe" tags on their uniforms. When an AC 130 is inbound, the soldiers fold back the Velcro straps that are covering thes infrared tags. That is how an AC 130 pilot knows who is friendly and who is not.
Engineer: "How about a tank canon on an airplane?" xDD Air Force: "YES!" Engineer: "U know this was a joke right?" Engineer: "RIGHT??"
