i flew on P-3s for 20 years as an acoustic AW and i am certain that this was a missed approach and probably a pilot training flight. P-3 has plenty of control when low/ slow to keep gear/ flaps up...Aloha!

The gear must be down at this low speed for full rudder control

that's a birdstrike waiting to happen....

[jlitz1748]

gear must be down for full rudder control? wtf? negative thats why theres a rudder boost shutoff valve

[straighttailpilot]

"almost hits a fishing boat"........................i­d think the birds are more likely to hit one another.

the orion is probably getting photography of the ship to confirm that they are not doing any illegal fishing, gear and flaps down will slow them down to get a better view
