So what is your proposed alternative?

Keep flying the P-3s forever, even when they start falling apart?

That's what we do up here in Canada...

They were the last P-3 airframes I believe of of Lockheeds production

The South Koreans bought P-3's off a production line in Marietta,
Georgia in the 1990's.

Thought the last of those was the 3 or 4 built for but never delivered to
Pakistan in the early 90s.

worked for the co. that did the maint training on that project.

I believe our 3 (140119 - 140121) CP-140A Arcturus TOS 1993, are those
airframes, The fleet of 18 CP-140 Aurora aircraft were TOS starting in 1980

They were eventually delivered in late 90s, as I seem to remember. My
squadron did the delivery.

Boeing needs to update their info(is the old info a sign of the
company's disarray?). Using the 800 fuselage, the bomb bay will be
aft. Either way they are converting the bins. The aft position would
give more volume. Of course thats an even bigger notch out of the
pressure tube.

"Boeing is refining its MMA proposal for a design based on the Boeing
737 airliner, but has upgraded its entry from the 737-700
design--which would have the wings of the 737-800--to a 737-800
aircraft fitted with 737-900 wings. The 737-800 design features
10-foot fuselage extensions, both fore and aft of the wing, that would
allow for more internal mission space, and relocation of the internal
weapons bay (possibly a lengthened bay) from the forward fuselage to a
position aft of the wing. Additional fuel tanks would allow the crew
greater flexibility in managing the aircraft's center of gravity. The
extensions also would provide more surface area for antennas; the
737-900 wing would be internally strengthened to support an extra
10,000 pounds in the aircraft's gross weight"

That's not a Boeing website, you know.

Boeing just isn't publicizing this program much. Neither is LM, for that
matter. Neither company has a dedicated web page for MMA, as far as I can
tell.

But it's still a pretty good discussion! By the time this is decided it
could be almost any airframe.
