[edit] Page move
Good move, Stan. The P-3C title was over-specific. Now we need to make the entry a bit longer!
- Thanks - I noticed this a while back, but failed to be bold about moving it. I figure the full list of variants will disabuse anybody of the misconception that only P-3Cs exist... :-) Stan 22:31 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)
Added information from US Navy Fact File.
[edit] China incident
Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe it was a variant of this aircraft that made an emergency landing in China a few years back. If so, I think it would be great to have a short write-up in the article about that incident. Does anyone else think this would be a good addition? --Xaliqen 05:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
You're absolutely right. It was an EP-3. It might make for a neat little tidbit if mentioned, as many other aircraft have their own little stories on some of these articles.
- EP3-J's There were 3 of them built, and they were built using P-3B's.

[edit] Fire-fighting
If anyone could add information about the fire-fighting variant, of which there are a number in service, that would be helpful. I'm pretty sure they're all ex-Coast Guard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.38.3.164 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Possible bigot
In the midst of the the recent edits of the "More users" section, User:61.124.97.251 has deleted the ROKN entry twice in the last 4 days, and possibly more from other IPs before that. It has also deleted a paragraph on a ROKN destroyer. THe IP is registered to a Japanese company. While I can't know the motiviation for this user's actions, it certainly seems fishy, and I'm not going to let these kinds of actions go unanswered. Whatever the motiviation, there's no excuse for this sort of specific vandalism. - BillCJ (talk) 01:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree - I see you have already placed the user warnings on the IP talk page. I will also monitor the IPs contributions. PalawanOz (talk) 01:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Images
We appear to have a daily addition of an image to this article, it is not a photo gallery can we limit or remove some of the images. Do we need an image from every possible user if they are available in the Commons link? MilborneOne (talk) 21:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Addition of Nowray from Finnmark
"There were, however, a lot of military intelligence activity, and Norwegian P-3 Orion maritime surveillance aircraft were often the first to get pictures of newly built Soviet submarines and aircraft."
Should Norway be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.210.163 (talk) 19:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Norway is already listed in the military operators section PalawanOz (talk) 21:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
