All,
Over the last month I have posted a couple of logs of a Dutch Navy P-3C
(NRN-380) into and out of PAX.
The Sep issue of Combat Aircraft magazine (p 497) has article that Lockheed
has won contract to upgrade all the Dutch Navy P-3Cs (10 to be exact) to
Update II.5 standards and that the aircraft will all (eventually) rotate into
and out the Lockheed Plant at Greenville SC for this work.
I'm guessing that NRN 380 may have been one of these P-3Cs going to
Greenville and he may have just been stopping off at PAX for a visit.
If this is the case we can expect to hear other Dutch Navy P-3Cs along the
East Coast in the months ahead.
