[Milsurplus] P3Cs

[Brian Harrison]

Charlie,

There is a P3C on display (including guided tours of interior) at the Hickory Aviation Museum, Hickory NC

Here are pictures taken in January, before the scourge:

This free museum has a relationship with The Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola who I think owns all of the aircraft.

A great friendly group of guys and terrific place just to sit around and chew the fat…!

Looking forward to visiting again

I understand they have acquired a Marine Cobra since the pictures above were taken.

best,

brian

How about checking in with pilot and co-pilot on a long boring stretch of ocean, and finding the P3C on auto-pilot and both pilots sound asleep?  With all the years of cat and mouse with Russian subs off the east coast, the bottom has to be covered with enough sonobuoys that you could walk  without touching sand.
