I was an AW2 in VP-44 at NAS Brunswick from 1969-72. We rotated through Sigonella and Bermuda. I still get a thrill watching P3s from Whitby Island do touch and goes at the airport here in Eugene, OR. I can still recognize that sound 40 years later!

@BHSHISTORIAN : we were the Golden Pelicans in Brunswick back in 1989-1991.
Love the P-3's. They will always be my favorite!

Dan-O, I do believe this is a 161 buno but a production UIII retrofit to AIP rather than the UII/II.5 we had in Brunswick in the mid-80's to early 90's.

Man i remember VP-26, my dad was in the squad as a parachute rigger. Kinda depressing that they closed it down :(
Awesome! My dad flew radar operator out of Brunswick with VP-44.

Cool vid, call sign 773. Is that a 162*** bird? Kicking ass at 350 knots! I was in VP-8 from '87 to '91, we had mostly 161s in Kef in '89. But we looked good on the flightline, only 159342 was out of place. She was our "projects" bird lol!
