A319MPA is not flying (and realistically a company-funded, MPA/ASW jet for a speculative target is not on any airframer´s agenda) but has considerable attractions as pointed out above.
However,
this C295 is certified and delivered (and can obviously pack a bigger punch than the much-discussed above CN235 - marvellous though that also is.)
And this P-3, which came shrink-wrapped out of the desert but is now a rather nice place to work, is about to get back to business - the first of a fleet of nine (and five for Spain.)
