24/7 Wall St. Insights:

The AC-130 gunship series dates back to the Vietnam War era

One of the most notable armaments of Ghostrider is its 105mm howitzer, which is typically seen on ground artillery platforms

Outside of the 105mm howitzer, Ghostrider can equip a variety of missiles like Hellfires or Griffins, precision-guided bombs, or
even just the basic conventional drop bombs
 
The AC-130 Ghostrider is a force to be reckoned with in the U.S. Air Force's arsenal. As one of the most heavily armed aircraft ever, this gunship is designed to deliver massive firepower, precision strikes, and close air support. It comes from the long-standing AC-130 series, which have been supporting U.S. ground forces for decades.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
