Lockheed P3 Orion NZ4203 flew in the RNZAF for 54 years on thousands of missions all over the world. The aircraft was the first RNZAF Orion to land in Antarctica, and spent an astonishing 27,000 hours patrolling our seas, carrying out antisubmarine and antismuggling patrols as well as hundreds of search and rescue missions. The crews who flew and operated NZ4203 reflect on this extraordinary aircraft.
