Maybe this time we’ll land a P-8 Poseidon at the Shanghai airport?

At least the crew can do some sightseeing this time after turning over our Top Secret spy plane to the Communists.

While the P-3C Orion used to hunt subs down and dirty from 200 feet, the P-8A Poseidon loafs along at 20,000 feet and has yet to be cleared for deployment of ASW weapons such as the Mk 46 and Mk 50 torpedoes. The P-8A is designed to work with BAMS (the Navy's version of the Global Hawk UAV). I don't think they've got this to work either. Bottom line is the P-3C can do the job; the P-8A is doubtful. The Navy has retired all its dedicated S-3B Viking ASW aircraft and the only shipboard assets are the MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter.

Another “ratchet tension” excuse to bring in discussions and opportunities for handovers for Obama.

If I were the military I would protest this betrayal.
