The Mighty P-3 - "Subservience Plane"

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

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

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.
 
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!:eek:

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!!

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:).
