This is for all my Navy and/or aviation friends. Yes, there are 2 new P8 Poseidons sitting out there on the tarmac next to the mighty (older) P-3 Orions. They're here at Marine Corps Base Hawaii to take part in the annual Rim of the Pacific exercise. RIMPAC is the world's largest multi-national maritime exercise lasting just over 4 weeks in and around the Hawaiian Islands. This exercise provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans.
Dave noted the new P8 plane has flush toilets just like the regular airliners! Thanks for that tidbit of info. I don't think I needed to know that.
Kaneohe, Hawaii
