Glad to see the P-8s getting spred around the globe now.

They are a GREAT replacement aircraft for the venerable P-3C...but have been needed for some time. I believe the 40th aircraft was delivered in July of this year (2016). Ultimately the Navy says it wants 122 aircraft, but I bet that number grows with time too.
