It is truly amazing to think that people have figured out not only how to launch heavyweight aircrafts in the sky, but also to carry out a large variety of amazing activities with them. This time my friends, we dive into some impressive military exercises conducted many feet above the ground in order to discover exactly what it is that we are talking about. We are proud to present you this video of the incredible Lockheed AC-130 gunship also known by the name of AC-130U Spooky.

The larger part of the AC-130 is made by the Lockheed company, while another company that participates in the making of this aircraft is Boeing. AC-130 is a version of the C-130 Hercules transport airplane. AC-130 is also a newer model of the AC-47 Gunship I which was used in the Vietnam War.

The only user and operator of AC-130 is the U.S. Air Force which uses the models AC-130H Spectre and the AC-130U Spooky.

The main task of the aircrafts AC-130H Spectre and AC-130U Spooky which belong to the United States Air Force is close support of the infantry, attacking ground targets and defending their own facilities.

During the mission of this particular AC-130U Spooky, not only does the airplane fire some sizable rounds off all of those feet above the sky, but there is also another aircraft which aligns with the AC-130U in order to participate in the refueling. This footage features the aircrew of the AC-130U Spooky a live-fire and air refueling mission during the Exercise Emerald Warrior 2016 event.

Check out the video below that shows all of this in action. Is there anything that we can’t figure out how to do? One thing is for sure: when humanity focuses its mind and intelligence on increasing productivity, we sure do carry out some impressive feats.
