Yeah, Mine was $55 or so USD and I mist say out of all my equipment I use for my flight sim….for the money it is the best Item I have bought.

The Utah NG 1/211? That was my Guard unit until 1995.

Yep, He joined with them 2 years ago.

Columbian C-130 ditched in Atlantic Ocean in 1982

the AN-12 can still be seen on GoogleEarth but all the others are cleared out…You can see in the picture that that are clearing it out when I took the picture.

I took the picture while we were fueling up our herk from the fuel pit.

1/229 AH-64s from Bragg? We had them clear some stuff out for us on a flight to a dirt strip 🙂 cool poop.

This one is great along with this one too

my my my, look what we’ve got here … 😮

Am I stupid?? why does this picture have multiple contrails?

Here is what the 7.62 mini guns looked like (I am not sure if this is a picture of an A or an E/H, but, they looked the same in this area)

Indeed, working at Hurlburt you learn a lot of things and the 20-mm guns on the AC-130H were taken off as they were deemed to put the aircraft at too much risk because they were ineffective when operating at the altitudes required to get away from certain threats.

The 25-mm is still on the U model though.

The 25-mm on the U and the (now gone) 20-mm weapons will be replaced by a 30-mm weapon of a type I’m not sure about at this point. I believe the 40-mm will also be replaced by this same weapon once all available rounds are expended. the 105 will remain as is.

It should be noted that the AC-130A actually went through a few different armament configruations. They started out with four miniguns and four 20-mms before having the 40-mm weapons installed which replaced two of the miniguns and two of the 20-mm weapons I believe. It gets confusing…..

Let it also be noted that the AC-130E/H (same aircraft) were also fitted with the 7.62 minigun gats above the hydraulic system in the left wing armpit.
