I almost consider Hurlburt to be my second home. Went through AGOS and FAC training there, and did Reserve duty at Eglin main for a decade.
I used to be able to cadge rides on the old A models when they came down to Patrick. The biggest gun on those was the Bofors 40mm twin mount. They'd hammer a hard target pretty good (and are also a hoot to watch in operation!) but for real saturation of targets like a column of trucks, the twin Vulcans were peaches 'n cream, brother.
A good pilot/crew could smoke the lead truck and then quickly do the same to the last one. With the column blocked, it was like writing your name in the snow for the trucks in between. Whoooeeee!
