Anime depictions of an AC-130 gunship?

Odd question time, again—and before entries start for the next AMV Hell compilation, would anyone here happen to know of anime works (TV, movies, etc.) that happen to feature an AC-130 “Spectre” gunship onscreen?

Surprisingly, the most I’ve been able to find is a one second clip from the opening of the series “Freezing,” although I haven’t actually seen the series itself—it looks a little heavy on pointlessly-scantily-clad-magical-teenage-girls and light on “plot,” for my tastes—so I couldn’t say if they make any other appearances.

Like I said, kind of a surprising paucity. But then, other appearances might just be too obscure works, or are simply poorly cataloged.

So…can any other otaku help me track down Puff the Magic Dragon?

That’s going to be a stretch. You’d need something set around the present day. They’re not AC-130’s, but would the transports dropping off the ARL-99B Helldivers at the beginning of Patlabor suffice?

Alas, no; I’d need something much more visually similar to an AC-130 proper, or at least a C-130.

Thank you for your reply, though!—luckily, I’ve been able to track down an episode of Freezing that that has a solid few good seconds of footage, and I know of at least a coupla other anime sources that have Herks on display. I think I might have a fighting chance of piecing something together.
