P-3C-II.75 Orion
Pakistan Naval Aviation
- In service from 1990
- Note: The 2 surviving aircraft from the original batch of 3 delivered were placed into storage for a number of years, but have been overhauled in 2006/2007 & returned to service. A further 7 ex-USN examples are now being supplied following the lifting of an arms embargo. The first 2 of these were delivered to Pakistan in 2007, with the third & fourth examples handed-over in the USA during January 2010. The latter were flown to Pakistan at the end of May 2010, following a spell of time spent crew training at NAS Jacksonville, Florida, where they were officially accepted in a formal ceremony on 1st June 2010.
The aircraft were transferred to the Pakistan Navy during a ceremony in Jacksonville, Fla., on April 30, and flown to Pakistan by U.S. and Pakistan Navy aircrews. By 2012, the Pakistan Navy will receive a total of eight P-3C aircraft.

KARACHI: The induction ceremony of two modified P3C Orion aircraft acquired from the US was held at the Pakistan Navy Base Mehran on Tuesday.
Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir was the chief guest at the ceremony.
US Brig Gen Mike Nagata of the Office of Defence Representative in Pakistan, and the US Consul General in Karachi Stephens G Fakan were also present.
Speaking on the occasion, the naval chief called the ceremony a historic event on many accounts. He said with the induction of these aircraft, the capability of Pakistan Navy and its Aviation Wing would be enhanced, adding that, We have to contribute to make the areas that surround our country on land and the sea safe and secure and that we take this as our responsibility as well as moral obligation.
