You will never, ever get a gunship (AC H, AC U or AC W) to 30k ft.
Hence the word "ceiling"..Didn't say they did, just that they could.

FTR, I said 10K to 15K. And I never heard anything. Guess there was always too much other shut going on to pay attention to engine noise.

everytime the JTAC mic'd up you could hear let the bodies hit the floor in the background playing in the aircraft.

Well, that was your first mistake.
I've never shot out of any of the ACs, but I've flown them all. They're heavy-weight pigs and suck to fly if you're not killing bad guys.
They're closer than you think and there is skill involved in shooting, not just computers.

I also find this hard to believe. It is crazy loud in a AC and there's a shitload of communication happening between a ton of crewmembers and ground agencies. The music would have to be concert loud or a speaker right next to the crewmember's face.
