919 SOW maintainers perform pre-flight check on AC-130J

Reservists from the 919th Special Operations Wing perform pre-flight checks on an AC-130J Ghostrider gunship prior to a local training mission at Hurlburt Field, Florida, July 9, 2025. The wing’s mission is evolving and now includes an operational AC-130J squadron based at Hurlburt Field marked by a ceremony held July 11, 2025. The Reserve flew the AC-130 gunship for two decades and nearly 30 years later, it will now resume its role as mission partners with active duty aircrew and maintainers almost 30 years later.
