The Palmdale Plant built this along with the Original P3s in nearby Burbank, Cal. In the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the US Navy used the Orions--and to this day the Coast Guard here in Florida use the P3's also. Great Plan. And the Canadians are as good as they come. Glad they're still in use. It's a Magnificent Plane--

We owe our airmen state-of-the-art kit❗️

[@randalbloomquist7812]

The FE was probably out having a beer and a smoke! They left out the smartest guy on the crew!

[@craign7002]

For those that say it looks ancient inside clearly don't know the capabilities of the CP-140.Bear in mind that this video was taken 6 years ago... The birds are completely different. For those that suggest the P=8, I'd want an aircraft with an extremely long loiter time, something the P-8 doesn't have compared to the CP-140.

[@cherifbar]

time for Canada to get P8 Poseidon!

[@tclements8331]

They are still great aircraft no need just maintain and upgrade buy long range drones.

just flying over slocan valley circling today jan 31 2023 from cold lake to revelstoke prince george

[@iran747]

Typical Canadian Forces, old ancient systems and equipment. Great People, poor government support😢

[@damyouggw]

Looks modern on the outside, old on the inside

[@Victork32]

Where is the Flight Engineer? Must be on a beer run...lol

[@markcuming8769]

Good interview, despite the interviewer’s poor microphone technique.

[@iananderson7883]

Looks ancient.

[@cannack]

they are in alot of ways, computers are prone to crashing but there going through a MASSIVE upgrade, better computers, screens and systems and capabilities, for example the computer is almost 30 years newer

[@rikkot]

TTT 1 They are being upgraded and I work with the documentation of the new system at GD Mission Systems

[@cannack]

rikkot so does the new computer have a designation like the older AN/AYK-502 (V) does

[@catalindamir9529]

It is proven against ANY computer virus ever written. Looks ANALOG!

[@krispayne729]

This is old what is the United States in Australia are replacing their fleets AB Lockheed p-3 Orion Canada is still flying their version the Lockheed Aurora so I think it's time for Canada to get on board with our allies and by Boeing p-8 Poseidon sent the newest sub hunting aircraft

[@CanadianAviation12]

Canada should buy the P-8 Poseidon

[@catalindamir9529]

Finally today they announced we will buy 14 of P8s.

[@CP140405]

This is an aircraft not currently ready for flight. There are no oxygen candles nor parachutes in the racks above the crew stations. A carefully staged "demo" sitting on the ramp....

[@CP140405]

Yes, the aircraft that are flight ready have all that equipment on board. The lack of parachutes and oxygen candles makes me believe that particular aircraft is a "hangar queen". FWIW, I flew aboard the CP-140 with 405 Squadron out of CFB Greenwood for several years.

[@robsmith8304]

+CP140405 I don't know who you are or what you did but we shared some of the same ground. I flew with 415 Sqn back when we actually did ASW flights over the Atlantic as well as the secondary duties that 407 is apparently fighting for to keep busy. The avionics have changed a bit and the "wet sensors" being passed on to enlisted is new to my ears but I pumped my share of sono tubes at 3 Gs or so and saw my fair share of the "Cold War"; if you wanna call Bosnia and Melosovich "cold". Watching this makes me feel like the military is continuing it's downhill decent into hiring and training pussies.

[@CP140405]

We probably know some of the same people then... I was a Nav with 405 in the late 1980s and on into 1990...

[@robsmith8304]

I was an AESOp from 1992 to 1997 there.

[@CP140405]

I got out in 1990, so we didn't pass paths.. but guaranteed we both know a few of the same people... it's a pretty small crowd.

[@dkirky42]

What a terrible interview. Would have been nice to hear her questions. Poor mic control. I hope she has improved over the past 6 years.

[@traincrashcalum]

Somebody tell Trudeau we need a new aircraft....

[@cannack]

there being upgraded, huge upgrades

[@damyouggw]

Calum Hutchinson he’s too busy hanging out tax payers money to immigrants
