Resistance is futile You can run but youll only die tiredThe AC130 Gunship was quickly developed in 1968 to provide fire support for ground forces in Vietnam Twentyeight C130 cargo aircraft were converted into AC130s for night attack operations The AC130 was crude ugly ad hoc and detested by many within the USAF but it worked and it worked well Likewise AC130 crews were deemed unruly biker gangs but performed magnificently in every major US military operation from 1976 to 1995 Most of these combat operations were cloaked in secrecy but records once classified for up to twenty years have now been opened Based on this newly declassified information and hundreds of interviews with SOF veterans Ghostriders 19761995 is the first authoritative historical account of the AC130 operations written by an AC130 Aerial Gunner who participated in every AC130 combat operation from 1980 through 1994
