Hell, I couldn't afford the AMMO for the thing. We had three General
Electric miniguns on the AC-47 "Spooky" gunships that I flew in Vietnam
and we carried 24,000 rounds of 7.62. 2,000 in each gun and 18,000
strapped to the floor for reloading. we could empty the airplane in a
matter of half an hour or less. Sure was effective though. :-)

Do you mean the AC-130 Spectre?

The AC-130 Spectre was deployed in 1972 and the AC-130 Spooky was deployed
in 1995.

And I can find no mention of an AC-47....closest thing is a H-47 Chinook.

Naw. He meant AC-47.

DC-3 with the guns pointed out the side of the fusellage.

It was where the idea to build the C-130 gunships came from.
