The 'Spectre' challenge is a reference to the AC-130H's nickname 'Spectre'.

This can be observed in Spectator mode or when attempting to destroy it with a Predator missile.

The in-game model for the AC-130 is actually very small, about the size of a UAV.

If the player is able to go to the AC-130 on spectate they can see that the propellers are actually not moving and that when they fire the guns, the ammunition is actually shot from behind the plane rather than the gun.

The Call of Duty 4 10th prestige emblem is unlocked by completing the AC-130 prestige challenge (1000 AC-130 kills).

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer they were replaced with red boxes.

Enemies in 'Death from Above' originally were to be marked with blinking corners.

Using the ' noclip' console command on the PC version of ' Death From Above', one can see that there is actually no AC-130.

The footage on the laptop looks very similar to ' Death From Above'. Looks just like Call of Duty, doesn't it?' after using it. Agent Lynch watches the attack through his laptop, and remarks 'Wow.

In the movie The A-Team, the A-Team is betrayed again and ambushed by an AC-130.
