I think we used to call them "Puff the Magic Dragon" if I'm remembering the right gunship. Of course they've been heavily updated since them, I suspect.

"Puff" was the AC-47 gunship. "Spooky" was the AC-119. The current gunship is the AC-130 "Spectre", latest version being the"U" model with 20mm Gatling guns, 40mm Bofors cannon and the
piece de resistance - a 105mm Howitzer cannon!
Guaranteed to lay waste to anything under its sights. Useless to run away from it - you'll only die tired!
