Doing some Googling on the subject it appears that the aircraft were grounded last spring for a short period of time and then last summer, the US Forest Service terminated the contract with Aerounion for the use of 6 P-3s used for fire fighting.
So it sounds like they might be airworthy but they don't currently have a mission.

Right up until forest fire time when the daily rate may be higher than last year.

No kidding. Won't be any fires in California for a while though, it's raining A LOT out there right now. Of course that means mud slides.
The four seasons in California are: Fires, Floods, Riots and Earthquakes........

These are among the first ever flightplans I released. I'm planning to revise them...
