Talk:Lockheed AC-130

message: There is no connection or similarity between the USMC Harvest Hawk and the USSOCOM/AFSOC Dragon Spear or AC-130J programs. The articles stating that Dragon Spear copied Harvest Hawk are wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.140.153.67 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Where does the text in this article say there's a connection or anything about one copying the other?  Do the Dragon Spear and Harvest HAWK both use removable systems or not?  -Fnlayson (talk) 16:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe so. The HARVEST HAWK aircraft has 4 Hellfire missiles on a pylon outboard of the No. 4 engine on the left wing. In order to convert HARVEST HAWK into a standard KC-130J, the pylon must be removed in order to mount the fuel tank. Jak474 (talk) 16:19, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

message: First and foremost, I have very limited experience editing wikipedia (I've only really edited articles in order to fix grammar and punctuation), so if I mess anything up here, lemme know.
The image at the top shows the AC-130 deploying flares. To the untrained eye, those flares could be mistaken for missiles or other weapons. This might mislead people to think that this is how the AC-130 fights, despite the caption specifying otherwise. Perhaps it would be better to replace this image with another image of the AC-130 in flight as it would eliminate any chance of confusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OddTetrapod (talk • contribs) 20:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Can we add in discussion of how the AC-130U came to be?  The AC-130W's story is in the article and understandable but creation of the AC-130H and how it went from AC-130H to AC-130U isn't really discussed.  Same for how the AC-130J came to be, like what were the operational requirements that spurred its creation?  I'm not much of an aircraft buff and couldn't find much doing cursory searches so I hope others could help with this.  Thanks.  Jasonkwe (talk) (contribs) 23:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
