This is the infamous plane that earned it's name from being feared by the Allied forces in the Pacific. That terrifying "NRRREEEEEEEEERRRRRRRWWW" sound you hear in World War II footage of the battles in the Pacific, was the sound of the Japanese Suiciders seconds before ramming into the hull of an allied ship.These things were fast, hard to hit, and advanced for their time. enjoy.

If i couldnt fly a fighter, then an AC-130 would be a dream, becuase i never let go of my love for destruction!
But the Angel of Death is also a nick name for the AC-130.
@Thehtmguy oohh, uh, tough call. These days they don't take anyone over 5' 11" for pilots, mainly because as our planes get more advanced, the less room we need for a cockpit, thus, a small cockpit, equals less weight, meaning shorter guys get to be Top Gun pilots, but hey, that doesn't mean you can't fly a cargo plane like the C-5M Super Galaxy, or be a gunner of the Angel of Death, aka the AC-130 Spector. and heres a little fun fact. the "Angel Reefs", "Angel of Death" are slang military terms for flares we use in or airplanes and helicopters to disorient anti-aircraft missile systems. its pretty neat, you should look them up on Youtube.
Thanks for the info! Im going to keep rolling out new things till i get enough points to upvote this. Also please dont upvote me unless I deserve it. Also 8m 5 ft 9 and a half
@Thehtmguy oh, and how tall are you? because height determines the jobs they'll be more likely to recommend to you, and not recruiters, they are there to give info on the jobs not recommend them. just a heads up.
@Thehtmguy Well, I am working on the C-130 at the moment. What you should do is experiment. test things, see what parts do what and how you can use their physics to clip through other objects. get creative. also, for sleek designs, use the fuselages and fuselage cones instead of blocks. it looks a hell of a lot nicer.
Also, what are you going to be working on next? And any ideas on what i should do?
Being a pilots my dream, but i might have to settle for aerospace engineer. Atleast then ill still be able to serve my country by making new fighterplanes
@Thehtmguy Woah, there. If I seem like I'm against anyone joining the military, I am NOT. I am enlisting into the United States Marine Guard. The National Guard has all five branches but they can't leave the country. I want to join, but I don't want to go outside these boarders. plus the National Guard is actually, pretty fun, from what i hear from veterans. But, I'm all for ya man. What do you want to be? Pilot? Gunner? Mechanic? Drone Pilot?
Well, i feel stupid. You can't change my mind of joining the airforce though.
@Thehtmguy Famous, isn't a word you associate with the word "War". they are infamous. as a future member of the world's finest fighting force, the United States Marine Corps, I do my research on World War I, all the way up to now. I will link you to some footage of what combat today is like. But, if you want to see historic wars, its not something to see. they are bloody, people being ripped up by bullets like BB's through notebook paper. I appreciate your curiosity of war, I was like that too. But when you learn about some of the stories, it changes your view on how war looks.
@PFCWesty155 wow, that one paragraph ruined my intentions of time traveling to famous wars.
@Thehtmguy Thanks, this took me months, because I couldn't find that "sweet spot" on the weight distribution ratio. Plus, my great grandfather served in the pacific as a Marine. He never talked about his time in the service, but he had good reason not to, it was, if not, most traumatizing areas of the entire war, mostly because the Japanese would cut up, and disfigure captured soldiers, and lay them on landmarks as booby-traps, usually, it was either a grenade in the helmet, or a rope contraption.
Nice plane! Always love to see models from history.
