Summary

[edit]
Description

The Lockheed Aurora, developed from the Electra airliner of the late fifties. It found its niche in anti-submarine service. This one is over the area of the Strait of Georgia leased by the U.S. Navy. Their atomic subs sometimes are seen here and are maybe out there often submerged. 

This photo had to be sharpened by Picasa's editing feature.  It's a 2-megapixel still from a video clip from a mediocre (or less) camcorder at 30 x magnification.
Correction: As it's clearly U.S., it would be a P-3 Orion.
