Any former AC-130 pilots here? How'd you do it? Is there an autopilot
that holds you in a constant turn during an attack run, or is it all
hand-flown?

I don't know about now, but in my day it was hand-flown even in a
regular C-130. It was just a turn around a point. The AC-130 guys used
the wingtip as a gunsight. You just held it on the target and turned
around it.
