AC-47 "Spooky" Really great photo!
Question: Was 770 an actual "Spooky", or made up
to resemble one?

A page of photos of the A/C (Airliners.net). See photo 1451123 for the
history of the A/C:

"N2805J (cn 20835) N2805J was an AC-47D "Spooky" gunship that served under
the 14th Air Commando Wing in Vietnam. The AC-47Ds were initially equipped
with three 7.62 mm SUU-11A Gatling Miniguns; one each in two window ports on
the aircraft's port side and one in the port-side open loading door. The
SUU-11As were later replaced with 7.62 mm MXU-470A Gatling Miniguns made by
General Electric. These guns delivered 6,000 rounds per minute. Aviation
