At the request of *griffenmeister [link] I present a look at Navy Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) Patrol Aircraft, The Lockheed's classic P-2 Neptune and P-3 Orion aircraft.

I was not able to shoot any P-2's in Navy service, but I did see some in MASDC/ AMARC as well as some firebombers.  I was lucky enough to be able to shoot some P-3's in full color markings before these were basically 'stripped' of marks in the late 1980s for 'security concerns'.

I hope you enjoy this look back at two Lockheed classics!

Sorry for the lack of correspondence for a while.  I was out traveling for a week and managed to catch the flu when I came home  Thanks again for all of your positive comments on my photos!

BCNU!
