What a useless hunk-a-shit.

@P3CDub Have you seen what the hollow brass hats are replacing P3 with? They have a hunk-of-junk called P8, a huge widow maker and war loser waiting for a time & place to happen. It is a wide 737-body airliner with 2 jet engines, and it is a WHITE ELEPHANT!

It is IMPOSSIBLE to replace a naval 4 engine turboprop with a wide 737-body airliner with 2 jet engines.

IMPOSSIBLE, but it is being done anyway.

Just a point of reference form a P-3 flyer with over 26 years in the plane. The P-3 is the safest tactical aircraft in the U.S. Military inventory. They were stalwarts in keeping the Soviet submarine force at bay during the cold war and keeping eyes ahead of our ground forces during every middle eastern campaign and continue today. This aircraft and the crews that man her are the most versitile and adaptive tactical flyers in the world. She is surely NOT a POS

@P3cNavyBrat i cant answer that lol

all i know is that they radio in IFE's all the time for loss of an engine



[P3cNavyBrat]

@YanYan1337 If the engines are such a concern for you, then why is the same engine used on C-130s and why would the P-3 spend so much time at 500 ft off the deck over water?

@YanYan1337 they dont loose them lol the crew actually shuts one or two down to conserve fuel and prevent wear on the engine so it saves time and maintanence costs

[YanYan1337]

@poskyflyer i dont doubt that they fulfill their mission

i just know they lose engines in flight almost all the time

[poskyflyer]

@YanYan1337 if they are junk why are they used by so many airforces for anti sub and SAR ops, aerounion uses them for firefighting

[YanYan1337]

P3's are peices of junk lol their forever losing engines in flight lol
