Great post Kremin.
You've got to take your hat off to those young P3 crews, hell of a job.
And it's often bumpy as sh!t out there too.
I stood behind an RNZAF P3 Captain, holding onto the back of his seat as we did sharp low levels turns over the Manukau Harbour in 2003 - had me nearly puking - not quite the g's but just as nausea inducing as fast jets.
And the guys down the back just carried on staring at their screens with no windows, as if nothing was happening.
