We are investigating the P-3 Orion, one of the most successful maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. #p3 #orion #usnavy
Why did the US Navy require a new maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft to replace the P-2 Neptune and P-5 Marlin?
What advantages did its development based on the L-118 Electra airliner provide to the P-3?
What were the main variants of the Orion?
What battles has the P-3 taken part in?

Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information as well as historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

As a boy growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, the P-3 was a familiar sight as patrols came and went from Moffett Field Naval Air Station. The drone of the turboprops were unmistakable.

@Blue_Dragon50 3 года назад

My air station, NAS Moffett Field VP-50

@davidcole333 3 года назад

Yes indeed, you are correct. And never forget the midair collision between the P3 and the NASA jet while flying parallel final approaches into Moffett.

I grew up in the Campbell/ San Jose( the bay) area and loved watching with my Dad back in the 60's and 70's. These Beautiful aircraft would come in from over the Santa Cruz Mountains. We both loved Aircraft and would stop and stare at nearly everyone of them that passed by over head heading for Moffett. A 12 year old and his Dad are now only memories. Do you remember the Radar station on top of Mount Umunhum with the turning dish you could see from anywhere in the valley searching for intruders to the horizon.

@steveskouson9620 2 года назад

I grew up in Sunnyvale, directly below the flight path into Moffett Field. At least 10 a day flew over. Along with whatever Ames Research Center was flying. U2, C5A, and the tiltrotor all flew overhead. steve

Between 1974 and 1977 I served with an ASW Squadron that flew P3C Orions based out of NAS JAX FLA. They covered a vast area of the Atlantic tracking Soviet subs. The close up photos of Soviet ships and subs lining the admin office walls were very detailed, with Russian crewmen waving at the planes. We participated in NATO exercises and would deploy at least once a year to Iceland or Sicily. Good duty (extra pay when over seas) except for winter in Iceland. Summer in Iceland wasn't bad at all. I got to fly in one a couple of times when we would do Allied crew exchanges at nearby bases. Very cool watching the crew working the sonar equipment while enroute to our destination. At that time they were worth $14,000,000 apiece.

@Chris_at_Home 2 года назад

I was an AX out of Brunswick from 72-75 and we had P3Bs. I wasn’t aircrew but I went to many places on every detachment many times with a patrol enroute. I also did Unitas 14/around South America. When we went to SA the Navy painted up two P3As with the US flag on the tail. They sent operators and techs to Pax to teach us old stuff like sniffer and AQA-5. I only went to Spain, Azores and Sicily for deployments but went to places like Crete and Athens. We also went up to England for a few days while in Azores. We went to a Nimrod base in SW England.

@stevenc8140 8 месяцев назад

I flew as SS2 & SS3 on P3B and P3C between 1972-1975 at NAS JAX with VP5. Serving in the USNavy as an Aircrewman was a great Honor that involved 2,000 flight hours and over a year of training!

@Mariner311 2 года назад

Also grew up outside NAS Moffett Field - enlisted in 1986, with the intent of being a Sensor Operator on the Orion, but unfortunately I SWAM too well, and the Navy designated me a Sensor Operator in the Seahawk Helicopter with the additional duty of being a Rescue Swimmer . After my 1st Sea Tour: while serving as a systems instructor, I managed to qualify as an SO in both the Orion and Viking - dream realized.

Great video. I flew in many P-3 variants from 1978 - 1991 and really, really enjoyed your presentation. You have some great video footage there. I will always believe this airframe is a classic beauty and I feel blessed to have spent so much time caring for, and flying in, the Orion.

13:18. I recognized those tail letters "YD". Those are VP-4's aircraft. I was in the squadron from '85 -87' When we switched the squadron decal from a chinese skinny line art dragon. (hence the squadron name "Skinny Dragons"), to the one you see on the tail in the picture. Great times and great deployments. VP-4 transitioned to the P-8A sometime in 2016.

@seadog686 3 года назад

I know that metric measurements are considered the international standard BUT, mariners and aviators still regularly use nautical miles (km) and knots (nautical miles per hour - kts.) as their distance and speed measurements and performance specifications. Hint: A Nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth, and is equal to one minute of latitude (1/60th of a degree). That's why dividers are one of the basic tools of a navigator. Measuring the distance between two points on a chart is made easier with dividers. The dividers allow you to measure distance in nautical miles when used in conjunction with the latitude scale of your nautical map. Place one point of the dividers at point A and the other point of the dividers at point B. Keeping the same spread measure the distance on the latitude scale. If it's 20 minutes of latitude, then the distance is 20 nautical miles, i.e. one minute is one nautical mile. Remember to only ever measure by latitude because longitude is different depending how far north or south you are. For measuring distances that are longer than your dividers, set the dividers to a whole number then rotate the dividers end to end and then add up the number of rotations.

I hate these things, not because they are good or bad, I was a submariner and listening to sono-bouys pinging for days on end during wargames and losing sleep sucks.

@mikearmstrong8483 3 года назад

An odd statement, since the standard load out of sonobuoys was about 85% passive only, active pinging was rarely used (and only against our own subs) and buoys were set to scuttle after 1 hour. I took part in many exercises, and we hardly ever used active buoys, and then only pinged a couple times. Active sonar is not used to hunt submarines; only to get precise range data on a target at an already known position to generate an attack solution, which only needs a couple pings, and these are very low power. But not having been on the receiving end, I guess I have to take your word for it.

@@mikearmstrong8483 Yea but wargames is when the fun and stupid things happen. Also hated trying to maintenance in port and destroyers calibrating sonar all day and I just wanted to put a pump back together.

I miss that dirty bird!! I was with VP-40 out of Whidbey Island WA, 2001-2008. I remember when the EP-3 went down cause of the Chinese fighter plane. Yes, they did use the EDK's to destroy as much as they could. But,.. they should have followed procedure and ditched it in water keeping the chinese from getting their hands on it. there are valid reasons certain military occupations remain out of the scope of coed,.. when its you and your brothers its mission first, always, you're feelings of saving the female aren't there to cloud thought process. Now, did the chinese get it there and be like, "WOW, you can do all this?" Not really, it was more "Wow, you can do all this from one plane?" So, they did their duty with EDK's destroying the most essential classified instrumentation beyond recognition making it harder to tell what the plane could do. And yes thank the Lord they came home safe. And no, in case you wondering, i am not the type of person who thought or thinks women incapable of the positions on the aircraft, i worked with them for years, i was simply putting out the reason of how human compation can play a role in our decision making when we're supposed to do one thing yet choose another. Thankfully things went smoothly for the crew.
