The P-3 Orion/EP-3 Aries Profile Drawing by George E. Bieda

Shown here in her typical anti-submarine warfare (ASW) configuration, the P-3C Orion is a peerless airborne hunter. This particular P-3C Orion hails from patrol squadron VP-5, "The Mad Foxes." The versatile P-3 airframe has many variations, and George has captured them all in his artwork.

Shown here in her EP-3E Aries II configuration, the Orion becomes the ears of the US Fleet, and a feared electronic warfare (EW) bird. This particular Aries II hails from fleet air reconnaissance squadron VQ-1, "The World Watchers."

Here is the P-3 in yet another configuration--this time as an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) platform operated by the US Customs Service. Similar to the US Air Force AWACS or the Navy's carrier-based E-2C Hawkeye, this P-3B extends the radar horizon by thousands of miles, helping US forces see the bad guys coming.

With it's varied missions and multiple configurations, it's obvious that the P-3 Orion is an amazingly flexible platform.
