P-8A Poseidon makes ‘excellent start’ for German navy, as next deliveries near
New Poseidons get off to flying start in German service. The German navy displayed a Boeing P-8A Poseidon at an ILA Berlin air show for the first time last week, as it continues to build its operational capability and fleet strength with the new maritime patrol aircraft (MPA). Sporting the service registration 63+01, the heavily modified 737NG airframe on static display during the 10-14 June event was the first of three examples delivered to Nordholz air base since last November . Assigned to Naval Air Wing 3, they form part of what will by late this decade be an eight-strong complement.
