Okinawa, Japan (Mar. 11, 2005) - Airman Lawrence Than salutes a P-3C Orion, assigned to the “Tigers” to Patrol Squadron Eight (VP-8), prior to take-off in Okinawa, Japan. VP-8 is home-based in Brunswick, Maine and is currently on deployment to Okinawa, Japan. Originally designed as a land-based, long-range, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) patrol aircraft, the P-3C's mission has evolved in the late 1990s and early 21st century to include surveillance of the battle-space, either at sea or over land. Its long range and long loiter time have proved invaluable assets during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) as it can view the battle-space and instantaneously provide that information to ground troops, especially U.S. Marines.
