    Fantastic! I have always had a soft spot for this plane, and I just know you guys will do it so right!

    I was looking for an excuse to buy the Just Flight Iceland and Reykjavik scenery, this may be final reason I have no excuses!

    I feel some flights from Keflavik coming on!

    VC looks great.

    Cheers,

    Fraser

    You will like to know that the second image was taken after taking off from Keflavyk and flying towards the GIUK gap.

    My fav's were always the flights out of Rota, Suda Bay, and Scotland.....but Bemuda was always a nice change...oh an RIO for RIMPAC.



    My most "exciting" flight was trying to reaquire a "boat" that the previous aircraft accidently pinged........dropped the wrong bouy......needless to say someone got their butts chewed out....bad. Glad it wasn't me....

    Couple of P-3 stories, both before my time but were still being talked about when I was in VP-65 in 82 ( has it really been 30 years?!)

    First one was when I was trying to be Aircrew, was trying to be an AW didn't work out that's why I'm an AO, one of the AWC's at the time had a sonobouy foul a Russian boat. The sub surfaced and he said he heard a lot of jabbering then suddenly there was a lot of metallic noise. The suckers were dragging the bouy in side and all those hydrophones were bouncing on the deck, all 20 feet of them. ASWOC to the tapes on return and did not give them back.

    Second one was told to me by this guy I worked for out in the oil fields in Kern County. This guy was an East Coast sub hunter and was in the Navy in the 60's. Anyway during an exercise with NATO forces they had found their prey, a Brit sub who refused to surface per the rules after they had dropped a Practice Depth Charge (PDC). They dropped a couple more and still no sub on the waves. The PPC told the guys in the back to "get their attention". Remeber the PDC's at the time carried a few grams of tetryl that made a loud bang, these guys threw a case of them out the door when the SS3 guy yelled mark on top. The bang these made wrecked Her Majesty's radar antenna and blew out the packing on the periscope. When I told my mentor about this story wondering if it was BS or not Gary just looked at me and said " You know Arville? He's nuts and it's true."

    Well two P-3 sea stories to hold us until the Razbam bird is released.

    My only experiences with P-3s was a brief assignment with VP-90, out of NAS Glenview, IL. Was only with them a short while, during the first part of my 4.5 yrs of broken service with the USN. The squadron had "Lambert the Sheepish Lion" on the tail....

    RAZBAM, you do an Aero Union P-3A "Aerostar" and it will be a definite buy for me!


    Some action shots from me to show why they're awesome:
