Actually...BOTH! Though, I am only flying the P-3 right now.
For all those who are misled into thinking the military always has the 'latest
and greatest' (which RV enthusiasts certainly don't typify), I came from a squadron
(@ Point Mugu) that had P-3's that were 41 years old, and the oldest C-130
in the military (flew in 56!!!)
"...built things that go BOOM!" You wouldn't be a B-B Stacker? Didn't know you
were Navy.
Bob, I thank you DO have me beat. Staring at a perfectly good RV-4 and unable to
fly would drive me nuts!

I was a civilian contractor on the Trident II FBM and I'm a Navy brat. Working
on the D5 program
was the next best thing to being in the Navy. The only difference was I didn't
have to salute
anyone.
