An amazing machine

  1. In 1996 at NAVCENT as deputy under assistant 2nd salvage officer for 5th fleet we recovered a P3 to see why it shed a propeller blade that 'walked' under the airframe, opening it up and causing the plane to ditch. The wreck was left at Fuj as a warning to all. One of the crewman told me how the blade sliced through the plane about 6" away from him as it departed heading towards Iran.

    Those are really big scary looking scimitars of death.
