Thanks

Also, any in service pics of P-3 Orions serving with VQ-1 or VQ-2 would be appreciated.

Attached is a photo of the VERY FIRST P-3 Orion to serve in the Pacific Fleet in 1963. It is photographed at NAS Kwajalein as it made its maiden tour of WestPac bases. The aircraft was based at NAS Moffett Field
