Spooky Gunship down under

Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:19 am

An interesting "warbird" in attendance at the Avalon Airshow this week in Australia is a civil registered...... ex RAAF C-47 .....painted up as a USAF AC-47D Spooky Gunship of the Vietnam era 1965-1970 period when these slow but effective machines protected the many bases and also did work over the "Trail".

It is not known if the aircraft be "armed" with MXU-470A miniguns or the like.... A similar Spooky is flying in the US warbird circut i recall.

A friend of mine flew the bigger AC-119G/K models Stinger and Shadow gunships in early 1970s over SVN.

Looked like the standard C-47 from the outside. Looking at the pics so far.
