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?:

There's something kind of fishy with that photo! Note how gooned up the
nose radome is! Pretty lousy job with Adobe!

That looks worse than the hail damaged VP-19 radome I changed in the early
70s in B'wick.

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.

Yeah, a high-endurance airframe with tons of room for avionics and
sensors wouldn't be much good over there. Nope, not much good at all.

Oh, and don't forget the tons of avionics and sensors that fit into that
tons of room!
