So, just a few days after the US and now european countries start backing Guaira over Maduro…. and explosion at La Guaira Port?
Cabal message, no coincidences.

Former AirForceAnon here.
In the context of airplanes, SPOOKY refers to the AC-130 gunship in modern times. Not the AC-47 which is a WW2 era plane modified for gunship duty in Viet Nam. Original AC-130 gunship config which were in service in the 1980's during Anon's era, had an AN-APQ120 fire control radar system from the old F-4 Phantom. Obviously the side-mount canons are pretty legendary.
SPOOKYII is the modern rendition, aka Spectre, aka Ghostrider, aka Dragon Spear. Anon has not kept up with all of the AC-130 variants, but suffice it to say that this platform just gets badder and badder, having been modified for different battlefield demands in recent years. 105mm howitzer (yowsa!), air to ground missiles, …laser? WTF.
Anyway here is an interesting bit from the linked article:
"And Heithold said in 2015 that proposed Block 40 aircraft might even carry a directed energy weapon, such as a laser or a microwave beam. These systems offer the potential for aircraft like gunships to carry a scalable weapon that can attack very specific targets on the ground, avoiding collateral damage and only causing as much damage commanders desire. In theory, they could operate in a less-lethal mode that causes no lasting damage at all.
In addition, they could ease AFSOC’s logistical burden, since they don’t require a steady stream of ammunition to keep firing. With the technology steadily becoming more efficient and physically smaller, the Air Force plans to start tests by 2018 and hopes a feasible energy weapon will be ready for AC-130s by 2020.
But, for now, it looks like the 105mm howitzer will continue to be a heavy-hitting and cost-effective part of the AC-130’s arsenal."
I didn't say the AC-47 never existed, I said it was supplanted by the AC-130. Simple search indeed, Anon.
