    Only one of them. And after a particular day I didn't drink for six months. It's a long story left unspoken. And sure as hello not on the intern!

    35 Looks like a test aircraft...Blue and Gold "F-35" on its tail....
    Doesn't seem to have the frontal "probe" test aircraft had for telemetry though...

    The most famous of USN C-130s is the Blue Angels' wrench hauler.

    Not to be too frank but "Fat Albert" hauls mechanics,
    the USAF AC 130 delivers destruction.

    "WASHINGTON: Sometimes smart bombs aren’t the smart choice. Sometimes you just need a big bad flying gun. That’s why the aging AC-130 gunship is still revered by ground troops for its ability to fire a 105mm cannon — a weapon normally mounted on light tanks. That’s why the head of Air Force Special Operations Command, Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold, decided the new model, the AC-130J Ghostrider, had to have the 105 instead of relying on missiles. And that’s why Heithold will fight to slow the rate at which older AC-130s are retiring."

    Miss the Gooney birds. 75mm in the side, miniguns out the entry door. One guy chained some grenades together and pulled the pin. Charlie didn't like that.
