Notes:

Bird Strike!! One more kill on this Ac-130 list. The seagull is visible between the white smoke and the centerline. Minutes Later an Atlas Air 747 landed over the bird and split it into lots of pieces and reported bird strike :p Same seagull, 2 bird strikes!!! Not its lucky day I guess. Bloody morning at Lajes.
