I think you will find "190914/914" is 158914.

It will be interesting to see if the Pakisten Navy P-3 is on delivery through the Pacific.

The VAQ-141 EA-18G are due for imminent delivery to Atsugi.

Thanks for the correction. Indeed VAQ-141 is about to leave to Japan, so were very welcome.

A second look with no heatwaves a day later showed the 'Pakistani' Orion realy was a full color VP-69 P-3C.....
