AC-130J Ghostrider Gunship

The Inspiration Behind Our Ghostrider Roast

← Back to U.S. Military Aircraft

The AC-130J Ghostrider is the most heavily armed gunship in the U.S. Air Force. Designed for close air support, armed reconnaissance, and air interdiction, this aircraft brings unmatched firepower to the battlefield. Outfitted with side-firing precision weapons, including 30mm and 105mm cannons, the Ghostrider provides devastating overwatch in any environment—day or night.

USMIL Coffee Company honors the lethal precision and endurance of this aircraft with GHOSTRIDER ROAST—an intense, full-bodied dark roast crafted for those who operate in the shadows and strike with force.
