DutyCat Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) This was put together by someone from VS-30. For those who think the Viking was an "unexciting" aircraft, you might change your mind after watching this. Superman Edited December 18, 2012 by DutyCat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGreek Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Indeed a fantastic video, makes you want to pull that Italieri S.3 from the stash ! Lothar I was thinking the same thing. Wondering if I had any cool aftermarket for it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Interesting to note that the S-3 bears a strong resemblance to the A-3 Skywarrior in many ways. There is a group that wants the DoD/Navy to turn over the later production S-3's so they can be converted into aerial water tankers for firefighting. Their payload and performance is ideal to replace the old WWII era twins now flying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tdogg Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Nice vid, love the S-3 was an awesome jet for the jobs it did. Would be cool to see them active again as water bombers, could again replace the trackers at yet another job! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parche Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 As a submariner, I still can't believe that they got rid of this plane. As always, we disrespect the ASW and SUW roles and focus on moving dirt around. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookie Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 That Florida tag GOT GAS on the back of the S-3 is the bomb! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
