It’s a P-2
Edited to remove my link - the link by FlyNYC is better.
Ahhh. Patrol plane, Thank ya’ll very much. Nice looking plane. I noticed the radial engines, did they make any with turbo-props?
Simultaneous posting. Freeaky. And I was so excited to be the first to answer.
Two in a row, check the time on the post above your second.
They’re based in Missoula. When you fly in there during the winter they have 'em all lined up at their base. I think they had a crash a couple summers ago too.
Pretty cool looking aircraft. Thanks for all the info!
If you find yourself in the Reading, PA area, stop by the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. They have a P2V-7 sitting on the ramp.

Don’t think I will be there any time soon, but thanks anyway! Do you know where any more would be at, somewhere in Texas maybe, or in a museum somewhere?

We didn’t but the Japanese upgraded their lend lease ones to turboprops
I guess the U.S made the P-3 to replace the P-2?

You noticed the radials, but did you notice that the pods on the wings outboard of each engine? Those are two jet engines, straight turbojets, to boost the performance a bit. Very unusual configuration. Avgas and Jet fuel in one airplane!

I noticed that, and I said them sure look like a pair of turbo-jets, but I just figured they were fuel or water tanks…

And the 737 er uh P-8A to replace that!
What model 737 is that?
