US Navy bu 151369 was retired to MASDC in August 1984. It was among several Orions acquired by Aero Union and converted to aerial tankers. After Aero Union's bankruptcy, United Aeronautical Corp purchased the MAFFS 2 (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System) patent in 2015 and acquired Aero Unios's P-3s in the deal.
