Yeah....I flew the Navy P-3 Orion for a couple of years ('65-'67) and
then some real old ex-Eastern crap while at Air Florida ('72-'73).

PSA had four of 'em. Three from the factory and one picked up from the
Brooklyn/LosAngeles Dodgers when they bought a real airplane. I wasn't
around quite yet, but the word around the company is that Fish used one of
them trying to figure out why the wings were coming off (whirl mode).

I **was** around in '66 when we did a 10k inspection on one of them and the
spar under the forward biffy could be peeled away with a knife like a banana
from **** juice leaking onto it.

I've probably asked you this before Bob, but did you fly the P-3 out
of Willow Grove?
