United States Navy - P-8A Poseidon

This is the first time visit to New Zealand of a Boeing P-8A Poseidon.

This is the U.S Navy P-8A, 168437 that visited.

The Boeing P-8A Poseidon is a military aircraft developed for the United States Navy, which was developed by Boeing Defense, Space and Security, modified from the B737-800ER.

The P-8A is a long range multi use aircraft designed for Maritime Patrol and Surveillance.
The aircraft is capable of anti submarine warfare, anti surface warfare, electronic surveillance, intelligence gathering, and on top of that can also drop, torpedo depth charges, and Harpoon Ship Missiles.

This is sure one nice piece if kit and we were lucky to have one in Auckland. I did take quite a few shots, but something different in each shot, and probably wont have another chance for a long time.
