See the P-3, look at the tail, that’s a sonar boom.

If it carrys weapons they are anti-sub weapons, depth charges and such. Seems weird that Bluto would see one of these over Venezuela so far from their usual haunts, sea partol. Who is worried about Venezuelan Sea Power. It might be spying on drug boats, Bluto got something to hide?

The Bluto of Venezuela is nuts, and like with ZERO, badly needs a distraction right now because the poeple are now figuring out why they are starving and elecricity is going out.

Incorrect. That is a MAD boom - Magnetic Anomaly Detector. It senses small variations in the magnetic field of the earth - like those caused by the large ferromagnetic mass of a submarine or ship. SONAR is accomplished with the P-3 by the use of sonobuoys launched from the belly of the aircraft into the drink and then monitoring the radio transmissions from said buoy.
