Nice shots there Rom, but I believe that's the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69). And that's a C-2 Greyhound landing, not a P-3. Wink

LMAO, could very well be on both corrections. I didn't take the photos and my old eyes aren't what they use to be. Come to think of it, I did take pictures of the Ike berthed in Norfolk and sure as heck, there was this big ole 69 on the island....dah....lmao

What I meant to say was a E-2C Hawkeye and that would have been wrong too....lmao

Major senior moment....hmmm....possibly combined with a first class brain fart..... Grin

Oh well, never claimed to be an expert at naval air power..... Wink

I took this and other pictures at the entrance to the Norfolk Naval Base.
