P8, really?
Not a Naval aviator, but compared to the P-3 and the like, I can hardly imagine a 2-engine turbo jet airliner flying around at low altitude chasing submarines. Nothing like the P-3 with turbo props, two temporarily secured.
New paradigm I suppose. I get the faster response time, greater payload capacity and all that, but loiter time, maneuverability? How about one-engine inop? Never happen of course in the beautiful weather conditions such planes fly in.
The die is cast, of course and smarter people than I made the choice. Hard to picture though.
