So I stopped at a gas station at lunch and saw a Boeing 737, all white/light gray doing some touch and go's. Had NAVY and a probe of some sort on it. Took a few photos but nothing great. Stepdad says it is the replacement for the P-3 ORION. Anyone else saw these flying or have any info?

I remember reading something, but it sounds like some kind of electronic listening platform. Can't find the article.

Ah, someone posted the link I couldn't find...I was close.

It sounds like its probably a P-8, and yes that's the P-3 replacement.
 
Thanks for the info sir

I'll bet the maintenance and operational cost is way lower on the 737.
