GAW ATTACK CARRIER C-508

History:
Gaw Attack Carrier C-508 was the fourth from the first batch of ACA-01 Gaw type flying fortress built by Principality of Zeon military engineer in California Base facility to support the Zeon's Earth Attack Force. After her commission on June U.C. 0079, C-508 was assigned to the 2nd Terrestrial Mobile Divisions which operated on the west and east coasts of North America.

Nickname:
During her services, C-508 was well known among the mechanic and maintenance crews as the "most troublesome plane on the whole air fleet". There's always trouble with her just before any missions. Ranging from a fatal failure like tire hydraulic jamming, crashing navigation system, to something just minor inconvenience like squeaking sound in the co-pilot chair. Because of this, the ground maintenance crews nicknamed her "Naughty Aunt" hence the initial "NA" on her hull.

Last Services:
On the last days of Zeon occupation on earth, thousands of troops, and equipment needs to be evacuated from far away outposts to any Zeon base with a facility to evacuate from the earth, such as Odessa or other HLV facilities. Somehow during this time, with a miracle, C-508 the "Naughty Aunt" was flying without any problem or any malfunction at all. Even that day she flew 3 times farther from any other Gaw in services along the East and west coasts, picking up soldiers and provisions, taking them to Odessa, the last Zeon defensive line.

Final Fate.
On November 9 U.C. 0079, Odessa falls to the hand of Earth Federation Forces. Just before the falls, C-508 "Naughty Aunt" along with 6 other Gaws and many Zeon's vehicles were burned and destroyed by the last Zeon Forces to prevent it from being used by the enemy.

And thus, the landing pad of Odessa airfield became the final resting place for a troubling but dependable aunty.
