Tom, Follow the P-3 Orion Research Group link in the Aviation Week article. Then hit the "sneaky" button. Everything you wanted to know about the P-3 and LSRS and Dallas is on there. They also have better pictures of the A/C with the nose radome lightning strike. Also they talk about the LSRS being used in theater in the mid east. Best P-3 website on the net, these guys from Netherlands reall did a great job. Cheers! Is this the site you're talking about?: http://home.wxs.nl/~p3orion/sneaky.html |

According to: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs...plckController... The P-3C is proving unexpectedly useful in overland operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Probably a lot of Iraqi aircraft to track and Iraqi subs to attack! LOL!!! Fun fact: The reason that maritime patrol aircraft (including the new P-8A) have internal weapon bays is that the torpedo fuel freezes or congeals at altitude. |

Nope, not much good at all. |
