RE: Ride The Lightning
I was contemporaneous with Puff the Magic Dragon
the C47GunShip...first of it's kind.
I was going to show a u-toob video
but they've all been removed.
Utoob is being politically correct.
I was a door gunner for pretend Army training on a CH47 Chinook. Did not like it, to noisy, and hot brass sucks when it flies back at you from a turn.
ahah....first hand experience...
I was unaware that the flying banana had ever been weaponized.
learn something new everyday .
It wasn't what I would call very effective. Limited direction to shoot, and targets had to be in a smallish area, although I did get to shoot up some 50 gallon barrels. It was kind of fun, but you were also pretty exposed to return fire. Cockpit was somewhat armored, but the door gun area, not.
