Gunsmoke (aerial gunnery competition)

Gunsmoke (officially known as the Air Force Worldwide Gunnery Competition) was a biennial air-to-surface gunnery meet for conventional weapons hosted by the United States Air Force that has been occurring since 1949,[1][2] with the exception of a few instances. It has been succeeded by Hawgsmoke. The competition occurred during odd-numbered years, alternating with the William Tell which occurs during even-numbered years.
