While flying out to Tillamook Head Oregon on 07/10/04 at about 12.10 PM
PDT at around 1200 feet we saw an Orion about 500 yards off shore well
below our altitude flying from North to South.

We were above it and out to sea about 500-750 yards past where the Orion
was flying so we couldn't tell much except it wasn't painted in a normal
USN paint scheme. If anyone could shed some light on what and whose it
is, that'd be great and thanks.
