Taiwan P-3s hit the open road
For the first time in almost 50 years a P-3 Orion aircraft travelled nearly 2,000 miles without ever leaving the ground.

The first of 12 P-3C Orion aircraft, purchased by Taiwan, successfully completed its overland transport last October from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz., to Lockheed Martin’s facility in Greenville, SC, where it will receive standard depot level maintenance, structural service life extension and avionics upgrades in preparation for delivery to Taiwan.
