Re: US Navy P-8A TDY reports for Japan
VP-8 P-8A 168851 was on detachment at U-Tapao RTNS during July-this would appear the be the sixth Poseidon from the Tigers on detachment here.
The Mad Foxes (VP-5) may well still have a small number of Poseidins here, with the occasional sighting here and at U-Tapao in the last couple of months of their airplanes.

Re: US Navy P-8A TDY reports for Japan
2 unmarked P-8As have been noted this month (September) here,
168435
169000
It would appear this pair are not VP-4 airplanes. VP-4 remains on TDY here.
