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.
