Navy P-8/P-3
Snapped a few shots at the field while the new P-8 and old P-3 were here on static display. Man, I hope I get selected for Maritime Patrol. That P-3 is an old pig but I'm sure it rides just as smooth as the '58 Beech I did my multi training in. A brand new 737-800 as your first airframe isn't a bad day either.

The camera is just a Cannon PowerShot, I would someday like to get into real photography though.
I'm not sure what the antenna is on top. I can't find any specific information because there's so many variants. The pilots did say that this was one of the newer P-3's, built in the 70's.

I'd be curious if these words have ever been said in the history of Naval Aviation.
P-3's, the SWO's of the aviation community.

It's the Navy, you're going to go to sea. Best way to do it is as an aircrew and not ships company. You'd have to pay a hell of a lot of per diem to soak up the suck that brings.
