Looks like a P-2 NeptuneWho can identify this...?
That's exactly what it is. I was ASW tech which was an unnecessary job in the jungle so mostly I sat in the nose with a Nikon and photographed targets or helped work the radios...I was sure Jim would be familiar with this aircraft and I am always surprised at the number of people that know what this is...this Neptune was originally developed and built as a long range bomber in 1945 to help finish the fighting in WW!! but was late to the game. This plane can take off from a Carrier with a full load tho I have only seen pics of such...in my day nobody sat in the nose during landing or takeoff but that would be a rodeo ride, never easy to watch the jungle approach fast during a dive for pics....takes a lot of trustLooks like a P-2 Neptune
P2V (one of the versions any way)Who can identify this...?
