This Lockheed Marietta built P-3C-III+ (test registration N4099R) is known as US Navy FMS BuNo 165104. The Orion was delivered as 950908 to the Republic of Korean Navy on 23 Dec'95. It started its career with the 61 Patrol Air Group, 615 Squadron "Sea Eagles" at Pohang. Check the two live AGM-84A HARPOONS underneath the wings as well as two live Mk36 Destructor Mines (or later generation Mk62 Quickstrike) bombs. These employ standard Mk82 bomb bodies with Mk15 Snakeye retarding tails, adding an acounstic/magnetic influence fuze. The P-3s will be replaced by the P-8 Poseidon from 2025.
