'Spooky' Gunship Operations in the Vietnam War
Just for old times sake wondered if Spooky might fit the bill in Iraq?
Take a turbine powered DC3 as turned out even today in North America and install mini guns and other toys.
Train local pilots to orbit hot spots at night and use FLIR and low light cameras to target the bad guys.
Of course the bad guys can shoot back but at night I feel Spooky has the edge.
