Square Tail P-3
I once mentioned to some Navy P-3 types that I had seen a "square tail" P3 at Kwajalein Missile Range. The looked at me in disbelief. Finally found a picture.

It seems that I have seen some pretty strangely modified P-3s out in the fleet myself at various times. Not sure if I have seen that one or not.

Talk about directionally stable. Vmca is for suckers.

So what's the purpose of the modification?

I was a pilot on the flight that returned it to KNTD in January 2010. Pretty nifty plane to get a chance to fly.

Can do. Career path is the same for the VP community as it was before with P-3's. What will be different is how BAMS (UAV's) plays into it, which I don't think anyone really knows yet.
The plane is an total beast to fly! The difference with a P-3 is night and day! It is pretty nice to see how the rest of aviation has been flying for the past 20+ years. Answered the other thread before I saw your answers in this post; but lay it out over there if you don't mind. USMCFLYR |
jmetx07- Since the P-8 is a 737, do you think flying the P-8 is a good way to build hours and get my foot in the door with the airlines? How do you select what plane to fly in flight school?
