Orion
The venerable P3 Orion.
The Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion is a four-engine turboprop anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft developed for the United States Navy and introduced in the 1960s. Lockheed based it on the L-188 Electra commercial airliner.[2] The aircraft is easily recognizable by its distinct tail stinger or "MAD Boom", used for the magnetic detection of submarines.
