AC-130J Ghostriders have already flown hundreds of sorties since beginning combat missions in June, said Col. Terence Taylor, commander of Combined Joint Special Operations Air Component–Afghanistan.
“Every night, the AC-130J is flying,” Taylor said in a phone call Wednesday. “The people they are supporting, are requesting them every single night.”
This amounts to 218 sorties and 1,380 . . .
