I'd pay money to see an AC-5 in action, but I'm not holding my breath. Come
to think of it, they could probably put the guns from the Iowa on that

Making an AC-5 might be a good example of the precept that just
because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

But I'd like to see it in action, too.

Of course, you could mount pretty much *anything* in one of those.
GAU-8s, Sidewinder launchers for self-defense, a small AWACS-type
system, maybe an old XF-85 Goblin fighter or two to toss out the back...
