RMS | US Air Force Lockheed AC-130U "Spooky"

            Oh my... The same day as the NASA DC-8 we were lucky to catch one of the few AC-130 Gunships on Earth! 
The plane arrived before us in Ramstein AFB, but we saw it departing on runway 26, with a great weather at that time!! 
Notice the 2 guns (the 3rd one is hidden), the many pods and the flares.

The sound of these old engines <3 This airframe is nicknamed 'Gunslinger'. EDIT: Unfortunately it was retired in June 2020.
