Interesting shot of the business side of the gunships, during the Vietnam war they were called "puff the magic dragon".

Many thanks, actually that name belonged to the AC-47 which was the first of a long line of USAF gunships. Thanks for the visit and comment!!

Awesome, Larry. Yes, as a kid I built a model of the C-47 "Puff the Magic Dragon". Not sure what type of weaponry it was carrying, but it had big guns pointing out every window on the pilot's side of the plane.

Many thanks, Paul, from the information on the AC-47 it had three GE 7.62 mm Mini Guns mounted in the cargo area! Thanks for the visit, My Friend!!
