This former US Navy P-3B LW (BuNo 152747) made its first flight on 20 July 1966. After a long US Navy career the P-3 was placed in storage at AMARC with inventory code 2P0135 in March 1994. It remained in storage up to September 1995, after which it was selected for Foreign Military Sales to Greece. It departed AMARC in April 1996 for Raytheon where it was modified. The LW was delivered to Greece by mid 1997, and assigned to 353 MNAS at Elefsis. The P-3B LW is seen here stored (and cannibalized at Elefsis. It most probably never flew since. In the background CL-215s 1112 and 2039 can be seen at the dump. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
