IN FOCUS Riders on the storm A Boeing P-8A Poseidon flies over a stormy Washington state coast recently. Based on the 737-800 commercial jet and assembled in Puget Sound factories in Renton and near Boeing Field, the P-8 is a maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft developed for the U.S. Navy as a replacement for the Lockheed P-3. The Poseidon is now in full-rate production and 13 had been delivered through the end of April. The Navy plans to eventually purchase 117. India also has ordered P-8 aircraft, with three delivered to date; Australia’s government recently approved acquisition of eight P-8A aircraft. PHOTO: LEO DEJILLAS/BOEING 50 Frontiers May 2014
