AC-130W SPECTRE 16th SOS Nose Art

AC-130W SPECTRE 16th SOS Nose Art by – Squadron Posters!

The 16th Special Operations Squadron (16 SOS) is part of the 27th Special Operations Wing at Cannon AFB, New Mexico. They currently operate the AC-130W Stinger II Gunship providing a robust close air support package to conventional and unconventional ground forces through our constant deployed presence. The 16th has a long heritage reaching all the way back to the inception of the gunship in the Vietnam War, and the current iteration of our AC-130 provides precision strike capabilities with the 30mm and 105mm cannons, as well as precision guided munitions (guided bombs) mounted under the wings and in pods attached to the cargo ramp. The 16th SOS provides one of the most highly requested CAS assets in the current theater of operations, and proudly wears our “SPECTRE” heritage on our sleeve and on our patch.
