Nice, very nice.

Remember AC-130's in Vietnam. They are bad mojo.

I remenber those c-130's. Jumped out of them about 15 times in the late 50's. Good airplane.

Jolly good show, Digger.
Just out of curiosity, how much does each of those explosions cost us? :D

Bob, actually not very expensive, you get a big bang for your buck from this aircraft. Sophisticated suite of sensors, yes, but the munitions are pretty simple, my favorite weapon aboard is a modified 105mm howitzer, which has been around for decades.
