P-3C Orion Antisubmarine

The Lockheed P-3 Orion was the backbone of U.S. Navy sub-hunting throughout the Cold War, and by the late '70s the P-3C variant carried the most advanced acoustic and electronic sensors of its generation. This ad speaks to an aircraft built for a war that, thankfully, never went hot.
