Glad to see the P-8s getting spred around the globe now.

They are a GREAT replacement aircraft for the venerable P-3C...but have been needed for some time. I believe the 40th aircraft was delivered in July of this year (2016). Ultimately the Navy says it wants 122 aircraft, but I bet that number grows with time too.
.
117 -122 P-8 planned remains 100 P-3C also

All active operationnals VPs to Jacksonville get P-8 exist 2 size of Sqns 5 or 8 P-8, OCU have 13 P-3C and 7 P-8 after 12 and remains one Reserve VP operationnal and deployed with 8 P-3C

Soon Pacific bases begin do transition Kanohe Bay and after Whidbey Island, for finish Reserve VPs equiped.
