On September 10, 1995, the five old AC-130A "Desert Storm" were all decommissioned, and the military officially held a commemorative ceremony for them.
Among the five retired aircraft, the AC-130A "Desert Storm" with tail number 53-3129 and nicknamed "The First Lady" The First Lady was actually the first aircraft to slip from Lockheed's factory in Georgia in 1953. The outgoing C-130 prototype was modified.
After decommissioning, the "First Lady" was placed in the Arms Museum at Eglin Air Force Base for permanent exhibition purposes.
But the newer AC-130H continued to serve in the renumbered 16th Special Mission Squadron, based at Herb Field, Florida.
In 2001, another 13 AC-130U aircraft were put into service. The U.S. Air Force "Air Gunboat" unit has a total of 8 AC-130Hs that entered service in 1969, and 17 AC-130Us that have been in service for 20 years. .
The United States is also improving the AC-130H/U aircraft to further enhance their attack capabilities, enabling them to launch lethal attacks on the enemy beyond the effective range of anti-aircraft weapons.
In April 2002, the US Air Force began to consider improving the artillery for the AC-130, and in the medium and long-term improvements, the aircraft has the ability to deploy unmanned aerial systems, or further based on the aircraft to generate new firepower/reconnaissance concepts platform.
The new gun will use some new and improved ammunition, an improved self-defense concept and avionics, and a modified engine. The AC-130 replaced the 25mm Gatling gun and 40mm Bofors gun with a 30mm cannon, and switched to a new 105mm shell with better accuracy. The 30mm gun used the Mk44 "Viper" II cannon. This allows SOCOM to use standard 30mm ammunition from the Air Force's inventory.
In addition to formulating short-, medium-, and long-term improvement plans for the AC-130, the U.S. military has also studied airborne lasers, modified C-130 or C-17, stealth vertical take-off and landing aircraft or "air gunship" plans for space aircraft.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
12 AC-130 air gunships were hovering over the ground. After discovering this situation, they immediately launched shelling.
At this time, Zhou Wenwen discovered that the 12 AC-130 air gunboat ground attack aircraft were AC-130U.
From the AC-130U ground attack aircraft, the 105mm shells continuously fired from it hit the F/A-1-A combat-type magic puppet's body at the moment of contact with the red-hot body, and the F/A-1-A combat-type The magic puppet pierced through, and the explosion generated by the incoming shell charge blew the F/A-1-A combat-type magic puppet to shreds.
Zhou Wenwen couldn't help but be surprised by this result. He never figured out that these F/A-1-A combat magic puppets could withstand 12 BLU-82 vacuum bombs, but could not withstand 105mm and 120mm shells .
After losing 18 F/A-1-A combat-type magic puppets, the remaining 30 F/A-1-A combat-type magic puppets finally couldn't help but take off, the red light in their eyes, and they responded in the next second A step slower, the 12 AC-130U ground attack aircraft that were still circling fired magic beams.
The fiery magic beam only flashed multiple red spots in the sky, and it hit the AC-130U ground attack aircraft, which exploded directly, even 6 C-130 Hercules transport aircraft were not spared.
After 30 F/A-1-A combat magic golems destroyed 12 AC-130U ground attack aircraft and 6 C-130 Hercules transports, the 30 F/A-1-A combatants of Air Towel The magic puppet immediately flew to the right, as if trying to escape
Seeing that the F/A-1-A combat-type magic puppet wanted to escape, a team of 3 F-22 "Raptor" fighters who were monitoring the air immediately caught up, but did not find the F/A-1-A fighting. Type magic puppets have assembled energy-firing cannons and aimed them at them.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenwen's face immediately became ugly, and he immediately wanted to access the communication channel to notify the situation, but it was still a step too late, and the white energy torrent sprayed from the energy launch gun muzzle to the three F-22 "Raptor" fighter.
Although the pilots of the three F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets discovered it in time, but surrounded by 30 energy torrents, the three F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets could not escape the disaster. The tail and wing were hit successively. Fortunately, the three pilots pressed the parachute button in time to escape from the F-22 Raptor fighter before being hit.
The three F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets that lost their pilots finally fell into a stall after 1 second when the tail and wing were hit and caught fire. They crashed into the road, garden, and viaduct respectively and exploded. .
