    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Came across this and it brought back a lot of memories. Almost 4,000 hrs chasing Soviet subs around the world. It was a pretty good gig being a Flight Engineer on P-3's.

They built about 520 P-3's and I have flight time in 105 of them, all models.
Buno 152152 in the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola Fl I have time in as well.

Memory lane...

They did a really good job on preserving this airplane as we flew it, looks like we're right in the middle of a mission! Awesome!

That's me on the right. We were in Panama for some ops and they wouldn't let us off the airplane in our flight suits.
We weren't always welcome where we went.
