A relatively recent arrival at the photo date and parked in the maintenance area. P-3B BuNo 155299 went to the Royal Australian Air Force in May 1968 as A9-299. Back to the US as N91LC with Lockheed in July 1983, to become the AEW&C Orion prototype. Present as such at the Paris Air Show in 1985. Reregistered N145CS and to the US Custums Service in April 1989, until decommissioning by the end of 2023.
