Photo Comment

Taken on strength by the US Navy in August 1965, this Orion was retired to AMARC in March 1990. It was among eight P-3s bought by Brazil circa 2002; five to be upgraded by EADS / CASA in Getafe, Spain to P-3AM and the other three for spares. This one departed AMARC in 2008 for Spain and subsequently delivered to the Brazilian Air force as FAB 7207 in February 2013
