I knew when you wanted to absolutely kill everything in an area the AC-130 was the tool for the job. I did not know the Warthog had so much firepower though. I also did not know the Warthog was as nimble and agile as it is. That was some impressive aerobatics.  :thumbup:

The most impressive aerial demonstration I saw (before the F-22) was an A-10. You have to know the airfield layout to get the full effect but he took off in minimum distance, sucked the gear up and rolled to 60 degrees right and racked the aircraft around the control tower, waving to the contollers as his canopy passed by the tower cab.  Very impressive beginning to the demonstration.

As for Spectre (actually Spooky since it was an AC-130U), "You can run but you will only die tired."

It's too bad none of the video is in the public domain but the the video of the two gunships taking down the Comandancia (sp) in Panama City the first night of the Panama take over was VERY impressive. :thumbup: :wow: :patriot:
