Introducing my new AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship.
From Wikipedia:
The AC-47 was a United States Air Force C-47 Skytrain (the military version of the DC-3) that had been modified by mounting three 7.62mm General Electric miniguns to fire through two rear window openings and the side cargo door, all on the left (pilot's) side of the aircraft. Its primary function was close air support for ground troops. It could orbit the target for hours providing suppressing fire. Coverage given by a Spooky was over an elliptical area approximately 52 yd (47.5 m) in diameter, placing a round every 2.4 yd (2.2 m) during a 3-second burst.
The plane carried 24,000 rounds of minigun ammunition and 45 flares, which it could drop to illuminate the battleground.
Note: Because of the peculiarities of side-firing weapons, the left-side gun sight is approximate, at best. Making accurate shots with this plane takes a little know-how (what pilots back in the day called "Kentucky windage").
