Photographer’s remark
158227 A US Naval Oceanographic Office RP-3D (Code 02) at Port Moresby Jackson's Airport, on a 'Project Magnet' visit in 1988. The aircraft was operated by VXN-8, and was named 'Paisano Tres', with the 'Road Runner' as Nose Art. This aircraft, used for mapping the Earth's magnetic field, went to AMARC at Davis-Monthan (DMA) in Dec 2003. Low res photo. Apologies for low quality of this 20 year old photo.
