Unknown to me P-3 purpose
While walking through airliners.net today, I came across this P-3. Even with
all my "vast knowledge" I don't know what the thing in the center of the belly is for. Dave? Gordon? Rotorhead? Alf? Mitchell? Anyone? I save the entire comment on the plane in the file name. Google didn't give me much on "SLAR". Thanks, Jim Morris |

Like others, I don't like replying to my own post but did find airborne side looking radar. But, what is it doing on a P-3 (based at NAS Ft. Worth) ? Thanks, Jim Morris |

@newsfe07.phx: NAWC-23 ? http://home.wxs.nl/~p3orion/sneaky.html Yeah, Maybe so. Thanks Jim Morris What got me thinking development unit was the number of fasteners on the pod. from what I have seen, operational pods are usally smooth and sealed with streamlining. less likly to leak or cause turbulence. testing or developing units will need access to the inside of the pod on a regular basis, thus the many fasteners (screws or duez fasteners) |

Leave it to the military to come up with something to see through
nothing. Even I can see through thong bikinis. ;-) On Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:12:03 -0600, CWO4 Dave Mann wrote: Jim Morris wrote: Another view Jim Morris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It the new "you can't hide" synthetic aperture RADAR system.
