Yep, that's why they were added and they could be moved to the green OOB and open up a dozen slots in the USA OOB...

Thank You Don, you answered my question as I poised In the "EDIT" of my last post.

I guess I can within the parameters you set aside and I fully agree with, recheck my data for the improved FC, EW and right now I forgot the third item you had in that post.

Another issue came up while investigating these platforms with the "newer" source data and that's the fact these planes were armored to some degree. It bears investigation but my thinking is something similar to the A-10 comes to mind due to the close nature of their operations.

GREEN will be a fine color for them and the AC-130W and AC-130J BLK30 additions. After all "It's the Luck of the Irish" that comes to mind as in 55 years of operations only 17 aircraft have been lost to combat operations. Of those, 15 in Vietnam and 2 since the last being Sprit '03.

The planes get saved and we get 12 USA slots, sounds REAL GOOD to me as well!! That's a real good deal all-around.

Regards,
Pat
