I swiped this picture from the AC-119 site. After all it is a picture of my husband, so I hope I don't get in trouble for it.
Some of the following pictures are by and of Everett Sprous. Thank you, Everett. He did not know or serve with my husband, but did honorably serve on the Stinger AC119.

The AC119K flew low and slow so hits by small arms and AAA shrapnel was common.

As you can see, I have no idea what most of these pictures are. I hope you guys will respond with the right information.
I have been waiting for them to be posted to the AC-119 web page, but since I have this site, I decided to post them myself.
