Inflight200 IFP3RAAF663 replicates 1/200 scale diecast of the P-3C Orion serial number A9-663 of No. 11 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), circa the 1980s.
No. 11 Sqn, RAAF
No. 11 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force maritime patrol unit stationed at RAAF Base Edinburgh, Edinburgh, South Australia. Formed in 1939 and saw active service in World War II, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. The squadron operated the P-3C and the AP-3C Orions from 1968 until 2016, when they transitioned to the Boeing P-8 Poseidon.
Lockheed P-3 Orion
The Lockheed P-3 Orion is a land-based, four-engine turboprop anti-surface warfare (ASUW), anti-submarine (ASW) and maritime surveillance aircraft based on the L-188 Electra airliner.
It first flew on August 19, 1958, entering service in August 1962 with VP-8 and VP-44, US Navy. It has served in numerous countries for over 50 years. Japan manufactured the Orion under license.
The airframe differs from the Electra with a shortened forward fuselage, a bomb bay, a tail boom with a magnetic anomaly detector, sonobuoy launch tubes and underwing hardpoints.
A US Navy P-3C crew typically consists of ten, including three pilots.
The Orion uses four Allison T56 turboprops mounted two on each wing, driving four-bladed Hamilton Standard constant-speed propellers. Once on station, up to two engines can be shut down to conserve fuel.
Armament consists of ten underwing hardpoints and eight internal stations in the bomb bay, carrying up to 9,100 kg (20,000 lb) of stores.
