Maybe VP10 is the best NOW, but back in the day, 1969-79, it was VP-50 out of Moffett; Blue Dragons! And if you go through SERE now, for VP (or EP) duty, well - that's easier than it used to be.
There is allot more to this than this video lets on, and there has been big-big trouble in Ensign land for over 15 year now. I love the P3, but what is going on with the crews & training is ROTTEN all to Hell.
I have never heard of a P-3 making a landing, emergency or otherwise, on an aircraft carrier. There was, however, a C-130, that is now at the museum in Pensacola, that was used in testing the C-130's capabilities as a COD. Of course, the C-2 beat it out for the job. The Hercules holds the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier.

@YanYan1337 They don't lose engines, they shut them off on purpose to save fuel.

Yeah, sure, they just go around destroying any old sub they come across. This ain't World War III.
BTW - P-3 Orion is a real airplane. 737 is great, but P-8 is gay!
