The Fairchild NC-123 Black Spot was not technically a gunship, but was frequently referred to as the AC-123, and were often believed to be gunships, thus the inclusion in this category. The aircraft did not carry side-firing weapons, but rather had a very long, nose fairing that housed a forward-looking radar and two internal, aluminum weapons dispensers for CBU bomblets.Only two of these aircraft were converted from the basic C-123 Provider. Adding to the naming confusion was the fact that the two aircraft flew out of the 16th Special Operations Squadron in Ubon, Thailand. This was the same unit that flew the AC-130 gunship.
