Summary[edit]

Description
English: Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Md. (Sept. 1, 2004) – An S-3B Viking assigned to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) makes its final shore arrested landing test at NAS Patuxent River. The landing concluded carrier suitability tests for an upgrade to the S-3B Viking fleet. The aircraft was the last remaining Patuxent River-based S-3B and was transferred to the fleet shortly after the tests. This achievement gives the Viking an enhanced capability to better meet the needs of the fleet until the retirement of the S-3B. The S-3B Viking is an all weather, carrier-based jet aircraft, providing protection against hostile surface combatants while also functioning as the Carrier Strike Group’s primary overhead mission tanker. Extremely versatile, the aircraft is equipped for many missions, including day/night surveillance, electronic countermeasures, command/control/communications warfare, and search and rescue.
