Once the Serbian air defences were sufficiently suppressed, the USAF began deploying three AC-130H/U Spectre gunships of the 16th Special Operations Squadron – forward deployed at Brindisi – for operations over Kosovo. In addition to their internal armament including two M61 Vulcan 20mm guns, one 40mm gun, and one 105mm howitzer, all aircraft were equipped with exhaust suppressors, and additional chaff and flare dispensers for the mission. This example was C-130H serial 59-6570, nick-named ‘The Huff’. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
