This is a video that I recorded back in March when my uncle and I visited the Dayton Air Force Museum.
This is an AC-130 Spectre along with the weapons it carries.

The six camels on the side of the aircraft are the number of targets destroyed in DESERT STORM. This aircraft was decommissioned just after the Haitian operation RESTORE DEMOCRACY. It was NOT used "mainly against Muslims". In fact it flew in the Vietnam war where six of them were lost to enemy fire with some 50 airmen losing their lives in them. The plane had the "Angel of Death" name long long before it engaged any targets in the mid east. I know--I have almost 3000hours flying this model!

if you consider that this weapon has been used almost only against "the muslims" and Azrael is believed to be the Archangel of Death and Lord of Naz'iats (grim reapers) in islamic belief of "other side" you can see the sarcasm...

@KH990j yeah me too, me too, we have had a long conversation ON youtube, just scroll down and look how much haha.

[KH990j]

@KH990j Sorry for not replying.. I am really trying to improve me C Average in School, I have also been looking into Military School at Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) In Virginia. It is near Washington, DC I am pretty sure, or Fredricksburg, I have only heard Some Details.. But I might go there with one of my good friends just too improve my mental and physical self along with my academics and the advantages you get when you graduate.

That's understandable, And plus you get the title of saying your in america's armed forces.

[KH990j]

Oh, yeah, but your not going to be able to get a half time job, but think of a military career like school (as long as your not in the field) weekends off, every holiday off, go to work at 6 to 6:30 and go home around 4. If your commited to your education you'll do it, and make sure you do it early so you have better opportunity later on. Right now I haven't signed for any college because I'm still in training.

[Section014]

That sounds very very good.. That is 'From what I heard' the BEST way to start off your adult life is from the Military because there is so many advantages you get from it. And Just wondering -- During the Military if you are 18 - will you have time and to attend college and half a half time job?

[KH990j]

Yeah, pretty much the only way is if the MOS you choose has a sign on bonus, or reenlistedment bonuses that I've heard of which are many thousands of dollars. Some of the jobs you do in the military will get you big bucks in the civilian world plus jobs will be more likely to choose one from the military.

Oh well Still its not alot of money .
