| George Bleyle Hudson, OH | The normal and max weights given (135,000 lbs and 142,000 lbs) are not applicable to the P-3A. The "original" P-3A had a max taxi weight of 127,500 and a max take-off weight of 127,200 lbs.
The higher 135/142k weights listed are for the "heavy weight" "B" and "C" model P-3s. George Bleyle; VP-10 1966-1969; VP-64 1973-1979. 06/07/2008 @ 01:39 [ref: 21199] |
| John L. Harrell TELFORD, PA | Buno 152152 was assigned to VP64 NAS Willow Grove mid 1970's. Flew as SS1 / CAC 4 in this bird many hours.
I believe that 152152 was retired from Willow Grove or maybe went to US Customs then PepsiCola Fl. 11/25/2007 @ 17:37 [ref: 18665] |
| Paul los angeles, CA | From 1965-68, I was a radio operator in a P3A/B flight crew with VP-6, stationed at NAS Barbers Point. We saw deployments in Adak/Shemya, Guam, Marianas, etc. with tactical flights all over: Yokohama, Atsuki, Moffett etc. Our PPC was Lt Davis -- nice guy with a sense of humor. I was not a pilot ... more like an electronics geek who signed up for naval air because I hated the thought of going to sea on a ship. (The only other alternative was the draft, and the jungles of Viet Nam.) The aircraft was a versatile, reliable workhorse. I also have great memories like: the Goony birds on Midway and betting which could land without falling on their beak; trying to convince people we were buzzed regularly by MIG 17s in the Bering Sea; getting photographs of a Russian H class etc. I was proud to serve.

| Kevin So Weymouth, MA | The P-3 you have pictured is a P-3A at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola Fl. The P-3 on display at NAS Brunswick Maine is also a P-3A. The P-3 on display at Selfridge ANGB is a P-3B. I flew the Pensacola and Selfridge planes. 01/31/2007 @ 14:20 [ref: 15362] |

| Peter Gatehouse , OR | The Curtiss P-3 Hawk was a single-place biplane. The uploaded images on this site are of the Lockheed P-3 Orion. You may wish to correct the situation!
