The P-3s first flew combat in Bosnia, firing SLAMs against Serb positions.

They also flew combat in both Gulf Wars.

Okay Al, if they first flew combat in Bosnia, then how did they go back in time
to the first gulf war?

Maybe thats why the Chinese wanted to hold on to that EP-3 for a while, to
discern its time travel capabilities, which we of course stole from the Germans
at some point of course...(chiming in before you know who can)

It's all foolishness anyway - the first P-3 combat missions were in
Viet Nam, as part of Market Time. As somebody pointed out, one was
lost to ground fire. If that isn't combat, what is?
