Wow, this brought back some great memories. I was an AW in the early 90's with VP-0545 Jax. Spent many hours in that bird, she's as beautiful as ever. Thanks for the video, it rocks!
Great Video . A Navy P-3 visits our town in Florida doing roundy rounds around our Airport.It's gonna be a sad day when that faithful Ship is retired from the Fleet
WOW I recognized old shipmates SR White (whom I served with in VP-1) and the FE looking at the camera who was an am I think, I was in VP-40 89-92, best squadron was in. Worked P-3's in civilian life..but now on helo's. ---AD1 (AW) Retired (LAGING HANDA)
Those were good times.... Just got back from the Middle East with the Marlins. Work hard play hard, thats how we do. Setting the standards! Miss those guys in the video!
I came into 40 just after they got back from that deployment. There are alot of different people...we just got back from our last one too! Woo! Go Navy!
Wow, great video of those Fighting Marlins! Former aircrew and Squadron Manintenance Chief of VP-40. Had the honor of bringing in to service those beautiful Update IIIs and serving with some of the Navy's best. Still proud of all of you serving now and in the past. Thanks to all of you Marlins.

Nice job on the video. Brings back good memories of my five years with Patrol Squadron 5 (VP-5). Although a different squadron the life and comraderies are the same.
Wow!!! This video brings back a lot of memories of my time as an IFT in VP40 from '92-'95...don't miss that flight schedule though. Now working in Houston as a petroleum engineer.
Great video!!! Makes me miss being in 40. I just left there this past December and this video bring back memories of this past deployment. I miss the hurrivac's down in Kadena followed by non-stop parties. None the less...great video.
I was with 40 from 01-03. IFT with CAC-1 and CAC-8. Dirty Ol Bastards, RYS! I am now in Tucson, we own a business on Davis-Monthan AFB, but we are moving to Ramstein AB, Germany in 01/07. You can see me at Kreative-Images.com. I recognize a few aircrew still left.
What is the plane in the background at 0:40?
