A rare picture of three EP-3E reconnaissance aircraft, all exhibiting different antenna fits. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Among the more remarkable of the special mission variants are the EP-3A (EATS) aircraft which fly with the Pacific Missile Test Center at NAS Point Mugu. The Extended Area Test System, comprising a phased-array antenna in the fin projection, is used f or range support. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

The first CP-140 Aurora is based on the Orion airframe but incorporates the anti-submarine warfare suite from the S-3A Viking. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

An unusual civilian use of the Orion is firefighting. Six P-3As are currently flying with Aero Union at Chico, California, modified with a 3,000-US gal ventral tank. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Lockheed Electra N1883 was used as an aerodynamic prototype for the Orion, featuring dummy MAD boom and weapons bay projections. It is seen here before having the fuselage shortened to Orion dimensions. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Notable for their unusual camouflage, the Iranian P-3Fs played an important part in the Gulf War with Iraq, flying from Bandar Abbas. Due to chronic spare shortages, it is thought that only one or two are left airworthy - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

The Orion can carry a wide variety of stores, covering the entire anti-ship/anti-sub spectrum. Illustrated in front of the Australian P-3C are Harpoon missiles, torpedoes, sonobuoys, and smoke markers. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

The P-3 pilot has a well-designed cockpit, with an excellent outside view. At his control is a powerful and responsive aircraft. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

The heart of the mission system is the Tactical Co-ordinator (TACCO) station. Information from all the sensors is displayed on the large screen. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

In addition to pre-loaded sensors, sonobuoys can be loaded into tubes during flight to meet varying operational requirements. Buoys are ejected backwards to fall exactly under the aircraft's position at the point of launch - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

The acousitc sensor stations are positioned over the aircraft's wing, behind the non-acoustic station. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Sitting opposite of TACCO, the nav/comms station is on the starboard side of the cabin, immediately behind the flight deck. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Pacific Fleet Orions regularly operate from Japan, Misawa, where this aircraft gets a wash, is in the north of the country, allowing the Soviet Pacific Fleet to be monitored closely. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

A trio of P3V-1s from VP-8 show off the lines of the then-new maritime patroller. They were the first unit to receive the type, and were soon in action during the blockade of Cuba during the 1962 missile crisis. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Designed to patrol for long hours over the ocean, the Orion is also very fast and surprisingly maneuverable, allowing it to undertake attacks against both surfaces and submarine targets and to dodge defenses. (P-3B shown) - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page

Operating at low levels over the sea plays havoc with metals, so Orions have regular washdowns to curb salt corrosion. This is a P-3C of VP-24 in the Jacksonville, Florida washing facility. - Glib's Lockheed P-3 Orion Home Page
