RNZAF P-3K/P-3K2 Orion

[Ian Warren]

With the opening of the CHCH city red zone , thought crossed my mind that last time we saw a P3 was the 'Day After' EQ , pity they were more regular than that a few years back before Wigram closure.

Jeez these Orion boys get more airtime into Hamilton than i do Virtually which makes for one Question , who has the KBT P3 current on the the PC and and how regular do peoples use it , I have even place the model along with updates into and onto a external HD under my payware due to the fact i consider it that good !

There was word , a few weeks back , about peoples looking for a good panel for it , now this has to be for the 2D , but all and all this model and like the real is just simply superb .

Again thanks for the posting Ham , like our four engine types , we have so many in the RNZAF it just so nice to see on vid and pics posted every week at least .
