Some of our friends from NAF El Centro, seen a little over a week before our Photocall, up at NASWI.

Beautiful shot of the Orion.  Back in the day that Marlin, on the tail of the VP-40 Orions, filled up the entire tail of the aircraft.  They were all color birds back in the 70s and early 80s.  CO or CAG birds were identified by a rainbow strip (sometimes a wedge shaped rainbow) through the fin flash.  Awesome shot.

Thank you!  It would have been great to see her with a bit more color.

This one is a little different than the Fighting Marlins bird I previously posted.  This one has four hardpoints and a FLIR dome underneath (all of which you'll see better with the next photo I post of this P-3).

This is the other shot of the previously posted P-3, this is the one that has four hardpoints and a FLIR dome underneath.
