[@bluedog7321]

My brother flew P-C3s in Australian Air Force. On one flight, they made a slight detour off their course and buzzed our house, which is quite isolated, on a farm. It looked like the plane was going to come through my living room window and the roar of the engines as it passed low overhead frightened the crap out of us!

[@toddmoss1689]

I logged 2,000+ hours with VP-30, VP-11, VP-93, and VP-92 from 1989 to 1999. Great airplane!

[@dks13827]

Did you go to the airlines ?

[@prodbysaucy30]

If you were part of a P3 squadron you will always recognize the whistle of that 4 stage turbine

[@caboitommy8930]

I was adj machinist mate stationed in Jax from 73 to 75 vp3orion.laved that time

[@superskullmaster]

Or a C-130E/H squadron. Or just an AGE guy who saw everything that flies up close when deployed.

[@hansoverbeeke5442]

And nu Ot forget that wwwhhaaaarrrmmmm sound woensdag those plane fly away fond memories😊😊

[@Sean708992]

That really brings back very fond memories of that high pitched sound and strong JP5 smell.

[@user-nn1sw3of2l]

Flew P-3C and P-3CK for 20 yrs for ROKN as a PPC, trained in Jacksonville FL, missed that Orion and people. The most powerful and beautiful plane in the world

[@johnleach7879]

Check out the Orion discussion above. We haven't forgotten her. Really.

[@johnnyapplsede6258]

Duuuuvaaalll!!! You must have been at NAS Jax, just started working there

[@orionfixr7713]

When my squadron changed from the P2 to the P3 it was like we came into the 20th century ! What a sweet air frame .

[@stevepaul9192]

Yes but have you ever flown a MAD TRAP?

I was with VP-56 at Jax from 1974 to 1977

[@77HarleyRider]

26 years (active VP-49 and reserve VP-62), retired in 1996 and still cannot get that aircraft out of my system. Love it!!!

[@samcowell2768]

17 years as a flight engineer close to 8500 flight hours in the USN and worked FMS miss this plane

[@B25gunship]

Was stationed at Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland late 1967 to May 1969. VP44 and VP45 used to rotate in and out. Flew a couple training flights as an observer and fell in love with the P3. We had just gotten the C version before I transferred out. Definitely a kick flying with outboard engines shut down and feathered while over the North Atlantic. Made several instrument approaches and touch and goes at St. John's civilian airport until they kicked us out for turning the wrong way from pull out on a touch and go. Flew to Gander where we landed and took a break. Watched a RCMP bush plane with skis land and 2 Mounties got out with a pretty knarly looking prisoner. They had to use the facility and refill their coffee jugs same as us. Returned to Argentia for more touch and goes but had to land as a ferry flight of RAF F-4 Phantoms flying on fumes needed immediate clearance to land. Very fun day and very memorable. H. Hansen CYN3.

[@richarddrum9970]

Flew in a Lockheed Electra back in 1970 from Washington, DC to Newark, NJ, what a powerful aircraft. Great ride.

[@billellis3397]

VP-45 (AW) mid 80’s and early 90’s. Saw the end of the Cold War. Flew a lot of “on top” hours before it was all said and done! Was one of the 1st squadrons to switch to digital and kicked ass up in Keflavik, Iceland. Just waiting on them boys out of Murmansk. Fun times!

[@dwightalfred]

I know turboprops are the future but nothing beats the roar of four mighty radials.

[@MrPopeyeJohnson]

Keith Auman I spent some time in VP66 as well. Great squadron. Awesome bird.

[@edostuff]

It's one hell of a bird, and the roar of those 4 engines... amazing :)

[@johnleach7879]

Kieth, I've got a couple of snaps of Orions and Connies in Lajes and Kindley from, um, 1956. I was in the 'opposite air force', USAF. pedaling around in a KC-97G. Forgive this view from an auslander, but I thot the Orion over powered and under ranged for what it did (if I was driving a bird looking for subs, it would travel at 50 knots for 18,000 miles, or am I smoking the wrong stuff?). It was a very pretty bird, tho.

That is true. I haven't been around those big beautiful planes for 32 years and I still remember the sound.

[@criptococo3172]

So much power for a small plane...but an icon of special Tasks in aeronautics...i like it 💯❤

[@Alco16-251F]

Can't Go wrong with the Classic Allison T56. One of the most reliable and best turboprops ever built. Pure Music to my ears. Thanks for Sharing!

[@samstroup2685]

A great friend and flight instructor of mine was checking me out in my Cessna. I said, 'Bill, I hear you have over 30,000 hours. is that true?' he smiled and said, 'yeah, it's true but I wouldn't be too impressed by that, Sam. Most of it was doing big racetracks in the P3 out over the ocean and I was asleep most of the time.' In fact, I think Bill is the best pilot I ever saw. RIP Bill Bardell.

[@iaidagger8278]

This is what I consider "a pilot´s plane" just an AWESOME aircraft, multirole long range patrol and anti sub plane ,adecuately used, with "surviving" limitations anti-shipping!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@aroyalflush4000]

Can’t fly without the FE sitting center seat!

[@newlam7958]

I lived near Moffet Filed Naval Air Station for years in Silicon Valley and it was a common sight of the P3 "Sub chasers" coming and going for decades until Moffett Field closed in the early 1990's.

[@thriftingohio4728]

My teacher was in the Navy and piloted one of these. Awesome to see what he did years ago!

[@jima6839]

I live about three miles from nas Jacksonville, florida, and can hear the last p3's warming the engines before they take off. I actually live in the landing pattern when they make the turn to land. Only one or two squadrons left, and the rest at nas jax are the new P8.

[@77HarleyRider]

VP-62 is the last squadron at NAS Jax to have P-3C's. On June 4, 2022, they will turn over their last P-3C and receive their first P-8A. P-3's will then be gone from NAS Jax. A Very Sad Day!!! VP-69 at NAS Whigby Island Washington (spelling?) is the other VP squadron with P-3's. They will be getting P-8A's too. Some EP-3C squadrons still exist.

[@davids2937]

I also like when they have the sound when they change the pitch of the blade/prop.

How can you kids. Forget the. Real. Asw aircraft. P2 v Neptune’s Vp. 11. Brunswick. Maine. In the fifties

[@jjstenzoski]

I remember the surge after brake release during engine runup on takeoff roll. It awlays signified committment to flight.

[@stevenc8140]

Great Plane flew (AW) on P-3B then P3-C. trained at Pax River then to VP-5

[@stevenc8140]

What makes these planes special is because they were designed for a specific look. The Poseidon looks like another commercial 737!

[@emmettcrocker9509]

What makes the sound unique is the gear box. Notice the pitch change as the power levers are dropped over the ramp from the alpha to beta range and the prop governor takes over, increasing rpm about 3% at the begining of the takeoff roll.

[@stevenc8140]

I can hear it now...V-1.........Rotate! Awesome Plane!

[@matthiashaenni]

WOW! Outstanding sound and footage of this great aircraft! Thanks for sharing!! Huge like from me, Matt

[@rogerb5615]

This old geezer recalls flying commercial on the Elektra, badged for Eastern's Great Silver Fleet.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

Yes, when the Electra first entered service they were real bad about the wings falling off in flight. A bunch of folks died, but once they figured it out it became a solid aircraft. I flew on Eastern Shuttle Electra's between DC and NYC a bunch of times during the late 70's.

[@stevienox8675]

Flew one to Florida when the speed restrictions were in place - I was 5YO...

[@luckeyhaskins1734]

Flying hurricane penetrations made it evident this was a special airplane.

[@kimmer6]

My grandma took my brother and I from Burbank to San Francisco on an Electra around 1960. I sat at a window in line with the #3 prop and watched it change pitch. San Francisco was fogged in that day and only 2 planes landed including ours. I'll never forget not being able to see the runway until we were about 50 feet up. It was an awesome trip.

[@AM1Mobley]
