The Mighty P-3 - "Subservience Plane"

[robav8r]

And the MK-64?

Yep

 

[xj220]

I wonder what genius decided to present the MK-58s and what looks like SUS or MK-25s in their "loadout" pic. Ooohh, not the dreaded Marine Location Marker of death!

At least now they could throw in the Mav and SLAM-ER to make it look cooler.

We've got mines and some fancy new(ish) torps, too.

Basically, that whole picture just sucks. I bet it was taken in Jax.

..,I bet it was taken in Jax.

Hey, it's OK to hate on the P-3, leave NIP out of it!

I didnt even know we were stilly flying those archaic planes.... good lord, that can't be safe.

 

[Renegade One]

...We had a P2 crew mark on top and signal an attack ...

You had me at the mention of the P-2...

"Goddam, it was beautiful…but the Army rejected it, of course…"

Speaking of your precious NIP, I'm going to crush your runway tomorrow Lumpy... With like a 43 ACN... just be glad I dont need any PARs, or I would be using it as an excuse to do touch and goes.

SPLATTER-TAC!!!!!

A couple months ago the commodore came through the squadron spaces, and the ASDO dutifully announced, "Commander Patrol and RENAISSANCE Wing 11, arriving." I just about cried I was laughing so hard.

Do you fly with tights and codpieces?

 

[Hozer]

this would be a more appropriate weapons loadout...

 

[BusyBee604]

this would be a more appropriate weapons loadout...

Or maybe this "French Style" loadout for the Mighty WarPig?


*After all, VA-25 not only loaded this, but dropped it in Uncle Ho's backyard, to boot!

BzB

Were you one of the knuckleheads who tried to take off during quiet hours during the VP-30 COC with CMPRG on the stage to speak, we're you?

So an ACN of 43 means you a P-3 at max gross weight or P-8 with 10 mins of fuel on board...

Since the PCN at the worst part is 24 , you'll be less than 200% of the max load bearing capability of the runway!!

My head hurts...

Whats a P-3? Is that one of those decrepit 4 engine disasters I see taking off as an emergency aircraft? I flew one of those back in the day... something about G-FAS-G, and Prop Pump 1 light on 2.... I dont quite remember...

As someone who's qualed in both and flies both, you really don't know what you're missing. The P-8 is a great bird, but you can't fly it like the P-3 and throw it around. It's a pilot's plane.
