Talk:Lloyds Spectre/@comment-207.81.107.120-20100405092345

For some background... C-130 Hercules: Transport plane, capable of takeoff on unprepared runways, first rolled out in 1957. Used by a variety of countries. Several variants have been used for a wide variety of roles, but the US is still the primary buyer. AC-130 Spectre gunship is one such variant. Pretty much, the Spectre is a transport with guns stuffed on every noncritical surface they could find a way to work them in. It's not pretty... but it can carry a LOT of weight worth of ordinance for an aircraft.
