The P-3 Orion was first flown on 25th November 1959. The P-3A entered service with the US military in the year 1962, but was already retired in 1979. The successor of the P-3A was the P-3C, of which the last aircraft was built in 1990 and the P-3C is still in service with the US Navy. But since 2010 it is being replaced by the P-8 Poseidon by Boeing, a military derivative of the 737-800. The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) uses the WP-3D for meteorological missions.
