HISTORY OF THE AC130 SPECTER GUNSHIP (int he eyes of rangerup.com)
You could go to the Lockheed Martin official website, the DOD website, or even Wikipedia to find the official origins of the AC-130 Gunship, but we think it went something like this in 1967:
Drunk engineer 1: So...dude...let's take a cargo plane and trick it out with every weapon we can find!
Drunk engineer 2: I don't know man...a cargo plane?
Drunk engineer 1: Come on!
Drunk engineer 2: Well...can we add a 25mm gatling gun and a 40mm cannon?
Drunk engineer 1: Shit yeah, man! We can even add a 105mm Howitzer cannon!
Drunk enginner 2: Really? Well in that case - I'm in!
In all seriousness, the AC-130 has saved more than its fair share of ground pounder's lives, and this shirt is a shout out both to those of you that have seen it's handywork from the ground and those kickass pilots and aircrewmen that make it's existence possible.
this made me chuckle a lot so i had to share it.
