An AC-47 (nicknamed as "Spooky") firing its mini guns and dropping flares. This photo was taken from the MACV Team 21 Compound, Pleiku, Vietnam. It was in the summer of 1969 around 1 a.m.. Time exposure shows the airplane has made 2 circles. Flashes from the machine guns can be seen when it was banked towards the camera.
