National Museum of the US Air Force. This was the original AC-130 prototype, a side-firing gunship based on the venerable C-130. It was initially equipped with four 20mm and four 7.62mm multi-barrel guns, a searchlight, and target sensors. Later it was used as a test bed for additional armament, sensors and fire control development. The radome underneath the cockpit windows contained a Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) system called the Black Crow (AN/ASD-5).
