BBJ2 for the US Navy ?????

[P3_Super_Bee]

The Navy is looking to replace the Lockheed P-3 Orion, after 40+ years of service. Boeing is proposing the use of a BBJ-2 as the airframe for their aircraft. Not much really to see, basicly an unpainted BBJ-2. The Aircraft is registered as N375BC, which after a FAA N-number search shows Boeing the owner, its a B737-8EV (EV code is BBJ2 customer), and flight cert of experimental / R&D Aircraft.

Sorry for not having more light. Didn't start work until 5:30pm and its already getting dark in Hawaii.

Be pretty cool to see someone "paint" this up on a FFX B738.

No!! Not another classic prop being discontinued!! Argh! Oh well, I guess the time had to come, eh?

Anyway, nice shots! ( the first shot in particular!) I thought they could use a little brightening up though, so I played around with a couple...Hope you like!

EDIT: I can do the rest for you if you'd like, but not tonite...gotta hit the rack!

Pretty good edits there Chuck.

Did I forget to mention that Lockheed is also planning a replacement as well, It will be a turbo-prop (most likely the same engines as the C-130J). It will basicly be a P-3 for the 21 century.

That looks real nice Justin!

[P3_Super_Bee]

Looks good Justin. I like it. Would love to fly it, and one in the "bare metal" scheme, That one would really be cool at work.

I made a paint for this bird after it flew into
Naval Air Station Whidbey one day when I was about to
launch.

May upload sometime.
