The P-3 Orion is a four-engine maritime patrol aircraft that has hunted submarines and watched the seas for over 60 years. Its long endurance lets it loiter for hours far out over open water.

Fun fact

It carries a long 'stinger' tail boom — a magnetic anomaly detector that senses the metal hull of a submerged submarine.

How to spot one

One might be overhead right now.
