The Mighty P-3 - "Subservience Plane"

[statesman]

I absolutely know what I'm missing....

My flight engineers giving me all the E-side gossip during 11 hour missions or trips down to Australia.

As far as the plane? There are some things I miss about the P-3, and yeah you cant throw the P-8 around. But its a hell of a lot more capable, or at least it will be, once the back end gets its shit together.

. . . once the back end gets its shit together.

You single anchor fellers are too funny

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.

Uh…must have missed the message…WHICH is a "pilot's plane" (whatever that means….)? I assume the Orion is the one you could/can "throw around"…just wondering why pilot's didn't/don't like that….
