AZRAEL: THE ANGEL OF DEATH - Dayton, Ohio. “Azrael,” an Air Force Lockheed AC-130A Spectre Gunship (a combat modified C-130 Hercules Transport) on display in the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This night-flying, ground attacking gunship saw combat during the First Gulf War’s “Operation Desert Storm” (1991) where it was used to decimate Saddam Hussein’s pillaging military convoys that were fleeing Kuwait after the Coalition liberation. “Azrael,” in Islamic Lore, was the “Angel of Death” that “severed the soul from the body.” Photo by Michael Huntington - June, 2016. @Huntington_Strange_Travels #StrangeTravels #MichaelHuntington #HuntingtonFamily #HuntingtonAdventures #LockheedSpectre #SpectreGunship #LockheedAC130A #HerculesC130 #Azrael #AzraelAngelOfDeath #AzraelGunship #AngelOfDeath #FirstGulfWar #OperationDesertStorm #InvasionOfKuwait #LiberationOfKuwait #AviationHistory #MilitaryHistory #AirForceMuseum #NationalMuseumOfTheUSAirForce #WrightPattersonAFB #DaytonOhio (at National Museum of the U.S. Air Force)
