A Kiwi P-3:
Some annoying airshow narration, but the airplane drowns him out from time to time.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Sigh... brings back memories. We did a few of those over the years. First pass 180 kts, second pass 120 kts, last pass 350+ kts. Sadly, they didn't do 3 or 2 engine demonstrations! I have over 7000 hours on them!
ReplyDeleteAn instant success, the P-3 used the unlucky Lockheed Electra's wings, tail and engines to get in service in an incredibly short time frame. 1st flown March, 1961 and in squadron service soon after. International sales were heavy after the US Navy had plenty, over 750 having been built in total. Upgraded frequently, it looks like a 1961 plane but still performs its job worldwide. Last propeller warplane in US service, to be replaced by the Boeing P-8 by the US Navy.
ReplyDeletePima air museum has one.
