straygoose Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Last night on the military channel good show about the history of the AC-130's. It also showed Talon I's and Talon II's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSgtRet Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I saw it too. Not bad, but they kind of glossed over the early gunship history; missed the fact entirely that the original testbed was a Convair (civilian C-131) and they didn't mention the 119 gunships. Some really good footage of the early ones (A model with the APS 42 nose). When I watch shows on the Military Channel I sometimes get the feeling they've been edited down to fit the hour time slot and the editor doesn't always pay attention to the subject matter.

SEFEGeorge Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've seen this a number of times and always enjoy it. Seems like a lot of the time that the narrator is talking about the ACs and showing Talon I's and II's in the background, taxiing, etc. But to the uninformed public......
