| Joe Hawkins , CA | The P2V-7LP / LP-2J were NOT Photographic reconnaissance / Survey aircraft.
They were modified for use in Antarctica with aluminum skis similar to those used on the P2V-2N, JATO bottle attachment points, a bomb-bay mounted fuel tank and other modifications for use in Antarctica. Four P2V-7LPs were built. http://www.vaq34.com/vxe6/p2v.htm 04/19/2003 @ 16:39 [ref: 6421] |
