Shows how very little you really know about the business.

A P-3 ditching at sea is a lot safer than landing on enemy territory.

You know nothing. I'll ignore you from here.

Al, me boy...did you happen to notice that big mushroom-shaped thingie on the underside of the airplane, a good distance from the center of gravity? A P-3 is safe to ditch, but an EP-3E will cartwheel.

The EP-3 rarely makes a successful ditch.
