What was the P-3 Orion?

Posted by: Mark on Jul. 29, 2005

It's gotta be the P-3.

The P-3 was originally built by Lockheed Martin (located in Burbank) in 1959 (which would have made Annie's granny about 30ish-years old).

Plus the +3 sounds like a P-3 to me.

That's what I get for being late to the party. D'oh. The one category in which I might have a chance.

Jasen is correctimundo! Pick a category.

If anyone's interested, Skunkworks, by Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos, is a great book about it's namesake. I actually liked it better than Kelly Johnson's autobiography, if just because Skunkworks deals with more of the technical aspects of the work done there.

Posted by: Trevor on Jul. 29, 2005

Yes, my grandma, God bless her, worked at the skunkworks in Burbank. i never realized the significance of that when i was little, she had retired before i was born i think. but i always remembered her drinking coffee out of that cup. It was the only cup she ever used. Now it's one of my most prized possessions.

Hold onto it. I've worked at Pratt & Whitney since I got out of college. It was until after a few years that I found out from my great aunt that I had several family memebrs who worked here during the war. She showed me a picture, but after her death, I wasn't able to find it. Man, I wish I had that photo.

Posted by: Trevor on Jul. 29, 2005

-Let's close the category for 200 please.
-I'd also recommend Rich's book, to anyone interested in such things.
