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

That's a badass C-130. I was involved in an air assault where we had to call in Puff. It was awe inspiring watching it firing on both sides of the village. It was the most amazing thing I saw in Vietnam.

Thanks for the introduction TSgt Steve Waide. Hopefully the AC-130J "Ghostrider" will reap death and destruction on radical-Muslims in north and east Africa, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan and any where else those who want to destroy us operate.

As if the original AC-130 wasn't bad ass enough! Outstanding!
