Before the Navy left Moffett Field (Mountain View, CA), squadrons of P-3Bs would take off and fly right over our house on their way to ASW duty in the Pacific. The whole house would shake, vibrate and buzz. Maintenance on the planes would require they sit on the runway with engines at full throttle for what seemed like hours on end, blanketing the entire south bay in noise.

Great bird, but it is nice not having to listen to them anymore.

I grew up in the South Bay, and P3s flying over every five minutes was part of the daily routine.

Where did they go from Moffett?

The guys at the Moffett Museum are restoring the P-2 gate guard over in Hangar 3, along with a few other aircraft. They've already patched up the P-3.
