I won't reply on the article other than using the phrase "inaccurate reporting"...but I suppose we are all used to that anyhow.

TS...you are partailly correct...but ("green aircraft") AC-130s are owned and funded by the AF. OPCON is chopped to USSOCOM however, and all special mission equipment and support is an MFP-11 bill.

Truth is there isn't enough money in USSOCOM POM to support the huge O&M bills of AFSOC Aircraft. This "split" funding has been a source of grief since AFSOC came to be.
