cant wait to commit war crimes, so hype to join!!!

No thank you.

I would love to be a pilot. Where would I apply for the Airforce academy?

@@johnlewis8934go to your local recruiting office. I promise it’s harder than you think to join the Air Force. A lot of smart studs.

Как понял такое оружие нужно только для борьбы со слаборазвитым и слабо оснащённым противником. А так нормальное ПВО на раз два эту бочку ещё на подлёте снесёт./

Thank you for your service!

So great flying with you guys!

Mr. Jt Wiard. What did Sam had to do to have a ride on the AC-130? How much paperwork he has to do? What did the Department of Defense need to do to allow someone to have a ride on a military aircraft, do we have to pay some amount of money???

@@ultralaggerREV1 Sam is in the US military so I guess they allow him as it may be marketing for them

@@ultralaggerREV1 public relations stuff, mainly in the form of UKposts, is Sam’s full time job as an active duty member of the Air Force.

Not to mention the software that has to calculate where the gun actually needs to be aimed, as the high speed of the aircraft as well as elevation and drop, while factoring in distance is a lot for just placing a marker on a target and pulling the trigger.

I got to fly in a C130A model 2 7.65 mini guns 2 20 mm guns and a pair of 40mm Bofors guns that was in 1974 Hurlburt Field I was in civil air patrol and they let a couple cadets go on a mission and we where told at time we the first cadets and first time they had ever allow civilians on mission even a practice one but back to the Camera wow how much they have improved for the low light TV set up and early type FLIR

If you haven't noticed, i think we don't look through the actual optics here. At one point the projectile comes in from the left side. So it's probably a drone that's capturing the images. I guess you can't show actual optics from an operating weapon system 😅

@@night__walker i think we do, because in certain parts of the video they show the screens, then show censored versions of them when actually firing

@@night__walker if the target is a mile away, plane going 300-350mph, there will be some angle between shot and the screen.

USA!!!!!!

Wow. The US should send some to the Ukraine.

@@ftboomer1 that would not be a good idea

@@kulesama3185 understood and fully agree. My point was sarcasm.

@@kulesama3185 if the threat of nuclear war didnt exist then it COULD be a good idea

shows explain how realistic that game was

The embodiment of devastation. No disrespect to the attack helo and jet fighters because I like to think of each of us in the military as a team.

Thank you for your services towards our country. Sadly some people just don’t see the impact that our soldiers make on an hourly basis. I hope you get the well-earned respect deserved

@@PasonNugget Yeah, killing and murdering them ON THEIR LAND. LMAO. But whatever... dumb is what dumb does; it keeps our economy in check.

@@PasonNugget Because it is bullshit. Afghanistan is in the same state as it was before 2001. The information to invade Iraq was also fabricated, and this isn't even a conspiracy anymore. The USA went there, killed half a million civilians and made some extremists more extreme, resulting in ISIS

there is a reason talib commanders feared this bird. Also where in afg was this??

Back in '06, I spent a couple weeks TDY at Hurlburt. Myself and the other two guys from our squadron that were down there with me were sitting at the DFAC one morning when a major wearing a bag walked over to us. Completely random as far as I know. We knew what he drove because of the Spooky patch he was wearing. He chatted us up for a minute, asking where we were from and what we were doing at Hurlburt. Then he told us he had room for one more on his aircraft that night for a mission over the Eglin range, and asked would one of us want to take a ride. All three of us said "hell yes" at once, and he told us "looks like you're going to have to draw straws or something." We did exactly that and I ended up being the lucky one. He took note of my name, told me when and where to show up, and turned around and walked out. That night I went up in an AC-130U and got to do just exactly what Sam did; it's one of the single most fun memories of my time in (and I had a lot of fun during my enlistment). I was a bit surprised they let him film as much as he did. I wanted to snap some pictures back with the sensor controls and was told it was an absolutely solid negative.

Good ol Hurbie baby, hell yeah!

Didn't the older models have dual GE gatling cannons as well? Why did they replace those? One would think the rain provided by them would be superior to the firepower of the 30mm.

A lot of lead poisoning and endocrine disruption too.

finally a truthful comment

yup. cancer rates are higher amongst them

All jobs come with a measure of risk. I'm assuming that people joining the armed forces are aware of the fact that "this job" might come with more hazards than your typical office job.

@@rockystefano Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

He’s the man!

We love MSgt Hatch!

​@@CannonAirForceBase27SOW Cannon Air Force Base ?

Just commented my suggestion in the regular thread

A10 warthog

Or know as the angel of death

My opinion to which aircraft to cover i think the AH 64 Apache helicopter and the next video you should do the C17 Globemaster III.

Check out the KC-135

Used to live there. Worst base of all time LOL.

How does the plane react to 50lb slugs leaving the airframe at high velocity?

@@robspecht9550 if you listen hard enough it grunts “Get Some!” after each recoil action! 😂

Used to work on the H’s and W’s in beautiful Cannon AFB. Miss the mission and people.

@@robspecht9550 in the video the pilot mentions the plane moves 6 feet to the side

what would you rather have in the sky ( on your team ) A-10 wart wart or AC-130 spooky?

@@JS-rv3et Considering all blue on blue incidents A-10s have been involved in I would hate to see it in the sky.

@@ieuanhunt552 bro…

They also cheat to do it.

Yes sir, this is a state-of-the-art freedom projectile delivery mechanism.

Good cheating weapon, huh? And Taliban still beat you. Don't get triggered, Bro. It is what it is.

Ah yes, casual invasion of iraq for no reason and war crimes

@@catoonz this is about the A-C130 doing its job, not an armed conflict between two nations

@@mr.universe8739 job is bully poor people/forces

glorifying war is crazy. u should join the invasion of ukraine then.

@@noob.168 It is because of people like me that served and that makes it possible for you to stay at home and criticize. Your welcome.

@@mrgold3591 What did the noob guy say?

@@iseensumshit69420 He/she/it was just criticizing the Military for being warmongers, killing people for no reason, don't need them, and a waste of money.

@@mrgold3591 "it" 😂

They’re murderers

The new j models do not the have gone to the more adaptable set up with the pilons for missiles

The originals had 7.62 miniguns as well. Kinda sad that the 40's are gone, but it is likely a lot less labor intensive to keep fed and easier supply with A-10 ammo commonality.

@@ChevTecGroup IIRC, they got rid of the 40mm Bofors because they were having a hard time looking for spare parts all over the world and they were reloading shell casings made during the 40s. As sad as it is to see a workhorse like the Bofors finally retire, it’s probably for the best. The 30mm cannon I hear is a good compromise and is really accurate.

@@edm240b9 i know they were reloading cases and such for a while. But it shouldn't be that hard to source components. But yes it will be missed. 30mm avenger would have been a cool upgrade. Or the new 50mm chain gun that the Army is looking at for IFVs

@@ChevTecGroup it was hard because the US was the only country still using the 40mm Bofors and every other country had scrapped them or they weren’t salvageable.

Thank you for your service, sir!

Study as much as you can. Im currently obtaining my PPL and there's a lot of information thrown at you. The Air Force will take care of you but it's always good to go in with Prior knowledge

Unfortunately, even if you join the air forces, the c17 will start to retire one by one.

@@Adriansdr07 still got another 15 years plus of service life maybe longer 👍

@@Adriansdr07 The C130 has been used since Vietnam and the c17 is the current primary workhorse. They're not going anywhere for a long time.

@@Atony94 Wdm, The USAF is already planing to retire it’s C17’s by 2035! The c130J is already going to be the primary replacement of the C17, also the c17 has already ended production since 2015 so there already going soon!.

A good friend of mine I used to work with was a machine gunner at Khe Sanh he was there in 68' he said if Nixon hadn't stepped up the bombing in Laos there would have been a lot more dead Marines...he said Khe Sanh was remote and they hit it all the time, small world ....hats off to your dad...

Yes, US teamwork worked exceptionnally well in Afghanistan, what a great military success.

the teamwork it takes to kill humans in an insanely brutal way

you forgot the💀emoji

To kill what? Civilians? Please realize the american army are the worst bad guys in the hisotry of humanity.

Working on it!

Thank you ☺️

Hey 👋

Thanks!!

I keep seeing this posted around, I I think the only source for it is one guy claiming to be an AC-130U gunner in VR chat.

look at the fake positivity from a person that hates themself

Probably supported by/in cooperarion with the military. Could actually be that they edit and upload the videos, and that Sam is just the ”main character”.

It's a propaganda piece to get more people to enlist. It is cool nevertheless.

yeah this dude is definitely PA lmao the question is how did he get such a cush job bahahaha

Birds of a feather have good hair together!
