It was my understanding that the greater range and loiter time of a turboprop would result in a more effective aircraft for patrols and such.

Osprey feud. The Ospreys always win. Our beautiful bald eagle always comes in second place. The Bald is a better leftover (carrion) eater and thief! One time I came upon a golden feeding on a freshly killed bighorn lamb in MT. Fearless, it didn't move from the kill until I got within 20 ft. Impressive. re Poisiden- No. No. No. Despite the obvious oxymoron, the P-8 is first and foremost an ASW platform, ain't it? ;-) The P-3 community has become one big, weapon irrelevant, polyglot of varying ISR capability and literally hundreds of configurations. Methinks P-8 is more of the same. That's what happens when N88 and the Enterprise have their H.U.T.A.'s and N2 holds the purse strings! b2 re Eagles-

No. No. No. Despite the obvious oxymoron, the P-8 is first and foremost an ASW platform, ain’t it? ;-) The P-3 community has become one big, weapon irrelevant, polyglot of varying ISR capability and literally hundreds of configurations. Methinks P-8 is more of the same. That’s what happens when N88 and the Enterprise have their H.U.T.A.’s and N2 holds the purse strings!

I was unclear when I wrote the story, but he survived his ordeal and now faces 4 charges of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, along with additional felony charges of firing into occupied buildings. He's got a long road ahead, but we owe it to him to help out along the way. Thanks, Lex, for posting the link. It’s not too late for SSG Nickel.
