A U.S. Air Force AC-130J Ghostrider made an appearance this month at Osan Air Base, South Korea.
The gunship, assigned to the 4th Special Operations Squadron out of Hurlburt Field, Fla., flew to South Korea for two-week joint aerial drills with Seoul’s air force and gunnery training starting June 12.
The routine training is meant “to ensure a safe and peaceful peninsula,” Army Brig. Gen. Derek Lipson, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command Korea, said during a news conference on the runway at Osan on Monday.
