Now don't jump to conclusions...this is not a modified P-3; it's a C-2 Cod. This is the plane you want to see if you ever find yourself floating around on one of those aircraft carriers. This aircraft represents either a ride off of the boat or transportation of mail onto the boat. Either way, these guys are a lot like Santa Clause year around. I know what you are saying, your saying, "Stan how good can a plane be if the darn wing is broken?". Well, believe it or not it's designed to do that! They can fit a lot more planes on a carrier deck if the wings fold up. Right, just one more thing to go wrong in flight! "Sir! we seem to be loosing altitude!" "Well no kidding, you forgot to unfold the wings!" That's a conversation I could do without; however, the P-3 does have a red guarded wing jettison switch in the flight station...hmmm, better leave that switch alone!

with all of the wing problems that have been around lately, i'm glad you clarified that this is NOT a p3!
it's like i always say, safety first!
Why not just to an inflatable wing...you blow it up like a rubber inner tube :) Or a pair of swimmies...get them lips ready sailor boys :)
You think those "folding wings" impress me? Apparently you haven't seen CARS lately! The doors do the same thing! Where do you think the airplane builders got the idea?
Sheesh! You'll have to do better, Stan!
Stay safe...you're in the home stretch!
Are you working and that is why you haven't been able to keep us entertained in your lovely wit?
