  1. In the tail of P-2 and P-3 patrol planes we had a compressed air retro cannon that was used to drop a smoke marker precisely on a marked location in the water. The air charge was calibrated to the airspeed of the airplane to cause the smoke marker to drop straight down. Made a LOT of noise when it fired also.

    1. I guess that the new P-8 doesn't have one?

  2. Mr. Taxpayer here is wondering what the objective of this study was?

  3. Likely a Mythbusters episode, so the only taxpayer money was for building, using, and then BRACing Alameda.
