It doesnt seem long since Spirit AeroSystems started cutting the metal for the Indian Navys first Boeing P8-I Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance aircraft.
And now, courtesy of aviation photographer Andrew Sieber, we hear the metal sits, fully formed and painted, on the Boeing flightline at Renton, near Seattle.
Weve also heard that the aircraft is expected to make its first flight later this month, on or about the 29th. Needless to say this is pretty cool. We wish Boeing was more forthcoming about this flight. So far theyve said they cant say. To make up for it, we expect some good pictures out of Renton

Now IN will have some serious teeth near malacca straights. It will be a serious threat to chinese subs hoofing around in Indian Ocean.
