Me three it was doing for many nights. It was a P3 by the engine noise

I can't for the life of me work out the training purpose as the merry go round is almost exactly the same shape every boring time.

It was an RAAF C-130 and King Air doing orbits over the city, not a P-3. Part of the special ops exercises.
