In the future could you do a video on the Didgori 1 2 and 3

My grandfather flew these- in VP-17 patrol squadron in particular. He started on Avengers in WW2 and reenlisted after college and made a career out of flying anti-submarine aircraft and planning anti-sub warfare... This is one of the best (at least the most accessable) summaries of the plane and its functio that ive found on KZbin... Im sure he would've appreciated this. AND, I love the nickname 'The Flying Watchtower'. Nice. Thanks, and, Cheers! (Fair winds and following seas...)

[@jonathanhorne6503]

The P2V was My dads favorite aircraft he flew over his 21 year naval career. He flew every mark with the -5 being his favorite. He was assigned as one of the first qualified PPC in 1947. He was once assigned to VW-3 and flew typhoon hunters from NAS Agana. At one time a typhoon flight recorded the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded. Of his 8k military hours almost half was in a P2V.

[@bholdr----0]

Wow.. My Grandfather had a similar career path, Avenges and then Neptunes, eventually a desk job- at the time naval aviators (don't call them 'pilots', lol!) were grounded at 45 years old, and he stuck around for a couple more years to get his 25 year retirement... (Which, as a 45 year old man myself, blows my mind.) Anyway VP-17 out of Pearl (and/or Japan? I'm not sure...) is the squadron that i recall him being most associated with... I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other. VERY cool. (Being a typhoon hunter must have been amazing! And a bit terrifying... If he was anything like my Grandfather, he probably enjoyed it!) I still have a bunch of heirlooms from his service, his sword, DFC, helmet, and some logs and flight plans... What a generation- the depression,, the war, etc- that those men lived in, eh?

[@zTheBigFishz]

My dad was a flight engineer on one of these during the Korean War.

[@n1k2-ja46]

As a citizen of a maritime nation, thank you for taking up JP's own improved "P-2J" as a citizen of a maritime nation. ARIGATOUGOZAIMASU！ なかなか他のサイトで取り上げないマニアックな機種を解説下さり海洋国家の国民としてまた、JP独自改良の”P-2J"を取り上げて下さりありがとうございます。

[@rgochina]

The Neptunes had a very rich history in Brazilian Air Force, and what a very interesting story about de role of the aircraft during Falklands war, being able to spot the British vessels.

[@Chris_at_Home]

I went on UNITAS 14 in 1973 and got to see the P-2s in both those countries.

[@martindione386]

the Argentine Neptunes went out of service shortly after the detection of the Sheffield, they stopped flying around May 15th for lack of spares for the electronics.

[@marcelomarins9075]

Amazing memories of this incredible aircraft I graduated in 1972 in the Brazilian Air Force the training in the electronic systems of the Neptune, APS-20 radar, ASQ-8 magnetic detector, ECM, sony buoy, navigation and many others

[@timhinds9089]

VO67 stationed in Thailand was not operated by the Army. It was a Top secret Navy operation. I trained with the crews of This heroic group. I can assure you they were Navy.

[@jackshittle]

I entered the Navy in 1990 so luckily I got to fly in the P-3C Orion but we had a Neptune on display on the grass as soon as you'd get through the front gate at NAS Brunswick.

[@Chris_at_Home]

My older brother was aircrew on both P-2s and P-3s at NAS Brunswick in the mid 1960s. I was stationed there in the early 1970s. I saw P-2s in South America when I went there in 1973. My brother was in VP-10 and I was in VP-23.

[@ladentladent4776]

Bravo Lockheed un très bel avion un super patrouilleur maritime en son époque 👍👍😍

[@Gendonramsay]

P-2 will always live in Indonesian history as the aircraft that sank KRI Macan Tutul and killed Yos Sudarso and his crews. My Grandma's big brother was part of the ship's crew but survived, it's a very interesting story. Thank you for mentioning it

[@williamkeyes1617]

i was in VP-18 The Flying Phantoms, ordnance man, on LG-2 #135547 FROM '57 to '62, Great crew in a great plane

[@bholdr----0]

My grandfather was in VP-17 at around the same time. Out of Pearl, I think. I wonder if they knew each other... Fair winds and following seas.

[@olivierpuyou3621]

Very interesting, I did not know that France had used these planes, I had stayed with the Breguet Atlantique 1 from 1961. Thank you for sharing. (I could have actually asked myself the question of what was there before).😥😥

[@jetaddicted]

There is one at le Bourget, with French navy roundels, currently being restored after decades of exposure to the element on the museum’s outside exhibition.

[@NorbyHofner]

Also The Netherlands flew with these planes.

[@jamieshields9521]

Awesome vid👍I had chance to see one on display although I wouldn’t want be flying in it especially hostile areas.

[@paulfrantizek102]

As I understand it, P-2V holds the distinction of being the only aircraft used in combat by all US armed services. Every branch used it in some manner over Vietnam (its sensor package made it great for nighttime interdiction).

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It was an informative video about P-2 Neptune aircraft, video shared by an excellent ( weapon detective) channel ....video clearly explained all its characteristics clearly

[@SriHartini-im7cd]

12:38 RI Matjan Tutul, the MTB (torpedo boat) Indonesian Navy ..

[@SA-xf1eb]

Excellent bird.

[@lightbox617]

The combination of piston and jet was almost silly bur the advances in sonar, radar and digital intelligence gathering was enormous

[@andyharding1514]

pretty common at the time - c-123, Avro Shackleton, B-36, etc. piston engines for cruise & the relatively lightweight, but thirsty turbojets for takeoff (& redunancy).

[@bholdr----0]

​@@andyharding1514 Bingo... At the time, aircraft designers and armed forces were seeking any edge that they could get. The most famous example was the B-36, I think...

[@scotthegarty9450]

Father in law was aircrew /radar operator in the ‘50s.

[@matthewdukes3207]

Who else had a heart attack when he referred to the cold war as "the first cold war?"

[@SA-xf1eb]

Fairly accurate.

[@herrerasauro7429]

Is it the the new narrative the US is spinning?

[@Einwetok]

He's not wrong. Thank Putin's ego........

[@bholdr----0]

It is unfortunately accurate. Let's hope this one turns out the same way.

[@rayschlegel]

LV my dad's squadron. VP661

[@BengalLancer]

the term cold war 1 seems getting more and more common

[@billthomas635]

In squadron service 273 was grey under, not black.

[@d.7611]

0:39 Perhaps the First Cod War?

[@yarmud]

is it the plane or the consept a legend?

[@mikepette4422]

with all that engine ooommph why was it so slow

[@michaelclayton632]

I disagree. The God of the Seas was the RCAF Argus. It replaced the P2 in1957 and flew till 1981.

[@bholdr----0]

I can hear your accent over the Internet, eh? (J/k, that WAS a pretty good plane, but, in terms of the impact during its time, the amount of different types, uses, capabilities, and the number produced and the number of nations that used them... P2-V is the most significant. But I may be biased, too, since my Grandfather flew them and commanded a squadron and loved that plane/jet...) Cheers!

[@The_ZeroLine]

It flew from Australia to Ohio without refueling? That seems impossible.

[@WAL_DC-6B]

But it indeed took place, and that particular Lockheed Neptune is now on display at the Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, Florida.
