Wow! I can't get over female aircrew! It must be a lot different than in the “old” P-3 days when we could still smoke on-board! I would love to get the chance to operate some of the new Non-Acoustic gear, I bet it doesn't even compare to my old Sensor 3 gear.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, and end of the Cold War, P-3 operations at Lajes declined, and the Naval Air Facility was inactivated in the late 1990s.

It's sad how things just pass you by when you're not looking.
