A record day for P-3Cs !!

I logged more P-3s today than I have ever before. I began hearing them
before 8 am EST this morning, and I am still hearing them now.
At one point there were about four or five of them in the pattern at
Patrick AFB AT THE SAME TIME, while a Cherry Point MCAS C-130T and Charleston
C-17 was there too; it was madness. LF 566 brought parts into Patrick for a
P-3 that was broken on the ground.

Where's the Patriot battery when you need it? :-)

I logged more P-3s today than I have ever before.

They lost?

Looking for a mission?

Hmmmm - I saw a news item in the last couple of days about 15 ships in
an al Queda Navy. I wonder if these two are connected...
