PATUXENT RIVER, Md. - The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) today announced that the P-8A multi-mission maritime aircraft has been assigned its popular name. It will now be known as P-8A Poseidon.

That was announced on Tuesday. However the US Navy guys have already dubbed this Boeing 737 replacement for the P-3 as the PerDiem after the daily rates payed on deployments. :lol:

Is this a VERY lame attempt at comedy? I'm IN the P-3 Community and have NEVER heard this...

Perhaps I should have added the link from which the quoted article appeared .... http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=259598

British humour often doesn't translate well with our cousins. I might add that the OP has very recently returned from an exchange tour at Jacksonville with the USN so I think it would be fair to say that he knows what he's talking about.

That explains it. East Coast pukes... They are a bunch of idiots. With VP-30 leading the way.
