U.S. Air Force AC-130W Stinger II aircrew conduct a combat operation training sortie in airspace Sept. 7, 2021, over Cannon Air Force Base and Melrose Air Force Range, N.M. Unique air support capabilities of the AC-130W gunship make it one of the most requested platforms for friendly ground forces, necessitating the need for aircrew to continuously train in order to maintain and improve combat proficiency. The AC-130W Stinger II primary missions are close air support and air interdiction, providing friendly ground forces an expeditionary, persistent direct-fires platform that delivers precision munitions.
