I just noticed that most of the articles I wrote that are linked in the "Articles" section are no longer available, probably because they were linked to my AOL sites. AOL shut down their web hosting a year or so ago and I moved all of my material to my own domain - www.sammcgowan.com. Go to www.sammcgowan.com/home.html to access the main page where you'll find a couple of links to various articles. I lost a few articles a number of years ago when I was experimenting with Front Page. I'll try to replicate the missing articles on this site when I have the time.

Special Operations Command plans to convert eight existing C-130 variants into multi-role gunships to support the wars in Iraq in Afghanistan. As part of the fiscal 2010 budget, the Defense Department has set aside $31.6 million to begin equipping eight MC-130Ws with limited gunship capability, according to budget documents. The additional firepower will buttress the two dozen aging AC-130H/U Spectre and Spooky gunships, Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz and Air Force Secretary Michael Donley told members of Congress during a May hearing. The AC-130s are in high demand in Iraq and Afghanistan for night-time flyovers. According to the Defense Department’s special…

Hi guys My name is Fred and i'd like to ask you all for a favor if that is possible. But first allow me to introduce myself. Im a pilot with the 501SQN back in Portugal (we're the only herc squadron here). I did my flight training in Laughlin AFB (07-07, Falcons and Mothers) and came back to fly the herc.

The thing is... I was hoping …
