Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I am a senior at Boston University. For my final project I am designing a theoretical replacement for the AC-130. I was wondering if some current or former operators could tell me what they would want out of the next generation attack aircraft (i.e. smaller and faster or bigger and more equipped, longer on station time etc.). Also if anyone could tell me what their wish lists for what types of weapons or systems they would want on such an aircraft it would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to contact Eglin and ask some of the guys who are flying the planes daily.... Just a thought.

I have already tried that and no one got back to me. Thanks for the thought though.
