Comment
There's something about the P-8s and their registration numbers. This is one of the very few P-8s I've seen with a 'known' registration ! Apart from that, it's patrolling in a familiar place, albeit a bit late in the day and apparently very close to the 'deck' almost getting the pilot's feet wet at barely 400 meters.Operations
P8 (450)
For some reason the Navy P8's registration data is largely missing. So the mode-s address is used to identify them.
