THAT had to suck...
While it is a cool picture of what appears to be a aircraft-shaped guitar on a psuedo aircraft carrier, can you fill in the back story or at LEAST MAKE A F-ING comment in your post about the subject?

Days it pays to fly the WarPig....in-flight buffalo-chicken panini courtesy of the SS-3....taken from the pilot rack, of course...
At one point in the late 80s, we were actually experimenting with mount those things facing aft as a defensive weapon. The Brits were doing the same thing with the Nimrod. Obviously it didn't work out for either of us.
Chemical and biological warfare is frowned upon.I wonder if anyone thought of using the green bologna as a warhead?
P-3s are the ultimate in multi-mission capability......sometimes the mission is to shoot a missile and sometime it's to cook dinner. We're prepared to do it all on a moments notice!

I remember seeing this photo or one like it and thinking, "Sweet! That would be cool." Never happened, at least not in the Reserve Sq. I was with. I remember insalling TACLS gear (I think that's what it was called) so we could carry AGM-84, that was the only forward firing weapon I ever loaded on the P-3...
As far as the galley stuff goes, we never used it! We always brought stuff with us; shirmp po-boys when we'd fly to New Orleans were the best!

That reminds me of when I was in Fallon, NV two years ago. A buddy of mine who flies C-130s was hanging out with us in the O'Club. After the beer had been flowing for a while, we start busting his balls about flying the C-130. You know, the typical "if you can't hover, you're gay" stuff. He doesn't say anything, just pulls out his iPhone and starts scrolling through pictures until he finds the one he wants. He shows it to us, he's got a big smile, wearing his hat/headset and holding up a plate of food. "That's a pecan crusted Tilapia with a mango salsa. You can keep your hovering."
We had no comeback.
Reminds me of the old joke:
An fighter was flying next to a C-130. Being a fighter jock, the pilot of the fighter radioed the C-130 and said, "hey, watch what I can do!" and proceeded to do a series of loops, rolls, hammerheads, and all sorts of aerobatics. The C-130 pilot radios back, "not bad, but watch what I can do." The fighter pilot waits and waits, but the C-130 just keeps on flying straight and level. The fighter pilot radios back "I don't get what's so impressive...you didn't do anything!" The C-130 pilot replies "Sure I did. I got up, walked to the back. Stretched my legs. Took a leak. And then got a cup of coffee."
