[Killer91]

For those of you that have never seen its gun in action check these vids out. Talk about fire power 

This is a short one of a strafing run on some buibling in what looks like a mountain.

Just an interesting fact about the aircraft.  It was actually built AROUND the gun, the opposite of other aircraft, because the gun is so large.

We have a bombing range and Kansas and had the opportunity to watch these guys come in and scraf vehicles.  Bullets hit the object long before you hear the gun firing.  I hate to be on the target, no way for surviving anything with a 2 sec burs.

I like the gun ship more.  provide more fire power at one time.

Are you talking about the Smoky Hill Bomb Range just south of Salina?  I used to do service work at a rural water treatment plant out there, saw a B2 making runs one day...  Awesome.

It lives up to its real name. The "Thunderbolt".

I love watching them flying around Barksdale AFB.

The sound of the engines, the shape, the gun, the hours it can loiter, the payload. People call it ugly, i want to punch them in the face.
