First AC-130J I've seen.  From a recent trip to Hurlburt.

Rad capture.  One of my favorite aircraft.  Looks relatively new.

Thanks.  More a reference shot than anything.  And it's very new, just a year or two old at this point.

YANKEES FOREVER

Too many unhappy endings in aviation over the past few years.  I shot this five days before this bird went down over Mississippi last July, killing all sixteen Marines and sailors aboard.
