FLT Detent, we got one of your P-3B's I think in the late 80's, to add to the 5 we had (and then upgraded to K models) but I do know that 2 were used last Friday for a fly-past for Queeies 50th down the main drag. Quite a cool sound downtown, especially when u see them inbetween the buildings (but obviously they were higher..) maybe a lesson for the C-130 driver the following day....

Oh and Rainguage, we got more coast than the US of A! Mind you we are getting a hundred odd LAV IIIs. Although only the engineering facilities to use 20 odd so maybe the balance of 85 could do your coastal surv...... or go into war storage.
