The new AC-130W which was in use in RC(E) when I was there doesn't even have a 105 anymore. That's all cool stuff but pointless in reality. In fact unless the 130 is already on target 9 times out of 10 the JTAC is calling in the AWT for CAS in a JAAT with A-10s. That was my experience in Mountain warfare in RC(E).

Yeah, this was back in 04. I don't know the exact model they were using then. It was during the battle of Fallujah so they were just circling overhead all night begging for targets.

The new AC130W used to be called the MC130, its design is for urban environments. The AF didnt replace the 105 on all airframes, just adapted to the current threat. Both are still in the inventory.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.
