Anyone got a link to the story? Hasn’t the P3 story been around for a while now???
Yes it has, but most of us assumed the Navy weren’t going to bite. Doesn’t seem too unreasonable anyway, considering the american defense budget.

If this is true, it’s nice that it’s coming out of the shadows at long last. Too valuable to fly, but a shame that it isn’t being displayed in Finland. I suppose it’s too much to ask that it will be restored into its original Finnish markings, it will probably end up in a representative USN scheme, I would think.
Thank god someone has acquired it. Yup, it will be a pity to paint it up as a USN machine but it really could use some TLC. I wonder what the deal was in the end – presumably not to $4 million that was being bandied around.
