January 29, 200619 yr Nice pics... The Packet (C-82) was a WW2 design. In the late 40's it was re-vamped with more powerful engines, made a little larger and showed up as the C-119 Flying Boxcar in time to serve in the Korean war. It was later retrofitted with 4x7.62 mm miniguns to make it the AC-119G which served in Vietnam. The AC-119K added 2x20mm cannons to supplement the miniguns (called the 'Stinger'). Pretty cool... like I said, one of my fav's. Chuck [ 29. January 2006, 13:37: Message edited by: ChuckFlys17s ]
