Manufacturer: LOCKHEED
The Lockheed P‑3 Orion is a four‑engined turboprop maritime patrol aircraft derived from the commercial L‑188 Electra. Its distinctive tail‑stinger MAD boom and large radar dome give it long‑range anti‑submarine and surveillance capability. Introduced in the early 1960s, 757 units were built and the type remains in service with many navies.
