"Spooky" gunships

[sandiego89]

An idea for a future GB?  Gunship conversion- make an aircraft into a gunship like the AC-47, AC-119, AC-130.  Sorry if a repeat

Some nominations:
CASA- small and large
C-160 Transall
Belfast
737
Argosy
Convair 131, or other twin turboprops
Russian?

Any others?

I've got a Bristol Superfreighter that might be getting some guns....

Spooky GB? I'd be in! In a heartbeat! 

Shorts 330/C-23 Sherpa! Someone (whose name escapes me at the moment, I'm afraid) did some cool profiles for a British and a US version. Already bought an Aeroclub Sherpa to use for a conversion.

Convair 131, or other twin turboprops

That one was actually tested, as Part of "Project Tailchaser".  A C-131 was converted into a test rig with cameras in place of guns.  Later the cameras were replaced with a single Minigun.  Still, it might be nice to see a full conversion.

A Twin Pioneer?

If you pointed the guns slightly aft you could take-off with a quick burst on the triggers!

 How about a Budd Conestoga?  Just stock up on Evergreen corrigated sheets.

Avro Lancaster with a bombay of enlarged depth and streamlined.  Barrels protruding out of the lower right hand side because it's British.    Not really an Avro York but say 1/2 between the Lancaster and the York.

Already have a Gunvan conversion of the Skyvan planned in Omani markings.

no but a 155mm taken from the as90 and 4 avenger 30 mm will do for a start

Basler BT-67 (Turbo-DC3)

That's not a whiff - Basler offer gunship conversions as standard and IIRC, Columbia has a few. They're a bit coy about details on their website, but I think I've read that the preferred guns are GECAL .50 cals these days.
