Summary[edit]

Description

The AC-130A Spectre is a C-130 that was converted to a side-firing gunship, primarily for night attacks against ground troops. The AC-130A was equipped with two 40mm cannons, two 20mm Vulcan cannons and two 7.62mm miniguns. The Museum's AC-130A was accepted by the USAF in September 1956 as a standard cargo aircraft serving the U.S., Europe and Panama. In 1970 it was converted to an AC-130A gunship, deployed to Southeast Asia in 1971 and flew numerous combat missions, returning to the U.S. in June 1975. In 1991 it deployed to the Persian Gulf and participated in Desert Storm combat operations before being retired and flown to the Museum in 1995. Full serial 55-0014. c/n 3041. On display at the Warner Robins Museum of Aviation. Georgia, USA. 18-4-2013
