It was sarcasm. "Fucking radar thing" isn't exactly a technical term either.

dipping sonar = helos.

Those fuckers tend to trail a looooong ass pencil lead thin antenna to pick up RF and variations in the earths magnetic field (ie, something aint right cause there's a big fucking piece of metal (submarine) near them).

Bro did lots of work on P3's and BBJ's (737 Business Jet). Love seeing the new P8's.... but yeah, P3's have been a workhorse for a *long* time

That is a t-33 chase plane that escorted the P-8A on its maiden flight.

Very cool.

I worked in the aviation department of my company for a couple of years as a property manager for the hangar.

I never feared flying until I went to work there and got to know and hangout with some of the pilots...lineservice guys and mechanics.

Looks a lot like the old P80.

Yeah they are almost identical. The t-33 was based on the P80
