Inside the Radomes



Back again.  Did you ever wonder what we had inside those two radomes, the tail doppler and the lower fuselage radars?  Well, take a look.  Don't want to hide anything from you.  

The tail doppler radar antenna, left, and the lower fuselage (LF) antenna, right, are being removed prior to this P-3 heading to Jacksonville for depot level maintenance - an 8-month overhaul where a full tear-down, inspection and repair will be done.  At the beginning of June 09 we will get back a healthy aircraft which we can take out into hurricanes with full confidence of its integrity.
