Hey Njaco,
my wife is smart and wanted to have my PC in the bedroom as she just wanted to avoid me sitting at the PC all night long every night. So I have to switch that damn thing every night at 10 PM off...
So when the baby wakes me up I have to walk and walk and walk with crying baby around my switched off PC

I'm really in South Jersey, below Philly, in Glassboro, home of Rowan College. And all my favorite sports teams begin with Philadelphia.

I was wondering about that . . . it appears to be a 7.62mm minigun on a flexible mount and, as far as I know, there are no 7.62mm miniguns on flexible mounts in an AC-130; they're on a rigid computer-controlled mount (i.e.: no hand-holds). Plus, there are two (2) 7.62's on earlier AC-130's (but only one on the "U"-boat).
I am not a hundred percent sure what the AC-130s today use (seeing on in action in Iraq though was beautiful ) but that is certainly a Blackhawk she is sitting in.

I actually just saw this thread, and I knew that that pic was not from a -130 as well... That pic has been around for awhile too...

I tried to find another picture of the gunner Vanessa Dobos but couldn't find one. Just that one picture a hundred times on a hundred different websites. 
Couldn't find one... strange! Did find an interview of her though: A new breed of gunner
She's from Ohio.
As a member of the 66th Rescue Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Dobos "mans" a .50-caliber machine gun aboard an HH-60 Pave Hawk. Her main role is caring for the guns and other defensive systems. However, she's also responsible for briefing passengers and helping other crewmembers with the weapons, defensive systems, hoist and other equipment.
It's the job her predecessors from World Wars I and II performed as they flew in their bombers through the flak-filled skies swarming with enemy fighters. It's the job she's prepared to perform in her helicopter during combat rescue missions while receiving enemy ground fire and dodging rocket-propelled grenades. But that's not a reasonable comparison, according to Dobos.
" I really love my job," she said. "I enjoy learning about the history of my career field, but I don't compare myself to gunners from [World Wars I and II]. Those men deserve a lot more credit than I do."
