I believe the plane you are thinking about was a P-3 Orion.

4 Pratt & Whitney Turbo Prop engines. Heavily gutted and modified domestic short haul and commercial airliner.

The P-8 appears to be a bigger, more gadget filled version of the old S-3 Viking or “Hoover”.

The P-8 Poseidon is based on the Boeing 737-800 airframe.

Obama needs a Wag the Dog II war to distract the USA sheeple from the coming implosion of tens of millions of healthcare plans.

A war that involved China / Japan / maybe even NK would be a big one.

You're right. However I don't think the Chinese are too worried about 0dumb0! After all they now own & control a good portion of our national +17 Trillion debt, and likely could cause our monetary system to crash simply by calling in for payment, which we don't have. If that is what it takes to get that RAT Bastard socialist commie muzzlim pig 0dumb0 & his demoCRAP party to self destruct, then so be it. I don't think the Chinese are too worried about the faggot 0dumb0 or our current metrosexual/gay/homo military any longer.

Funny, I was just reading that the Chicoms are working on an AWACS based on the same platform.

A war like that would also include South Korea, probably spilling over to Taiwan, Guam and the Marianas...
