Wow, I'm sorry I missed your posting. Nine months... time flies, wow. They probably didn't know each other though, but a great thought. My dad flew from Cecil Field, just south of Jacksonville. I thinkthat's closed now. The museum up in Pensacola has two P2Vs: displayed. One's the famous Truculent Turtle.

I have about 1300 hours in P2V-7S (SP2H) BuNo 135580 in the 60's in the old VP-17 based at Whidbey Island, WA. Been everywhere from Kodiak AK to Bankok, Thailand at 180 kts true. Video brought back memories also. The view from the clear nose was outstanding, especially when on patrol below 1000'.

Signpilot2, it looks like your old bird is no more: 147956 P2V-7S: C/n 7206. Damaged on or by 1/7/73; struck off charge 26/11/73.
My dad flew in these wih USNR VP-741 out of NAS JAX in the early '60s. Does Australia still have P2Vs in service, or is this a museum piece? Great vid.
