cabal23 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I understand that the AC130 is designed for specops but a few soldier testimonies on video claim that they called in the rain using AC130s in Iraq and as far as I can tell these are Marine regulars, and from the testimony there was nothing particularly important about the missions they called in. They provided support to Marines of the 3/1 on the ground in Fallujha while the rested at night. They would fly support all night raining down fire around the location of the Marines bedded down. Check out the book "We Were One" by Patrick O'Donnel (fabulous book) and they talk about it many times. They too said it was like having the Gods on their side at night when they were most vulnerable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
