A poor quality shot but worth uploading for the 'Troop Carrier' titles, the snow and its long and interesting history. Briefly, it was converted to AC-130A gunship configuration in 1970 then took part in the Vietnam conflict sustaining and surviving hits from 37 and 57mm artillery on various occasions. Having returned to the USA in 1972 for a structural tune-up it took part in Operation Desert Storm in 1994. After retirement it was put on display at Hurlburt Field Memorial Air Park, Florida.
