T33 Spots Boeing P-8 Poseidon Submarine Hunter w/ Attached Box

- A new Boeing P-8A Poseidon departs Boeing Field with an unusual looking box attached to the bottom of the aircraft which would be an Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS.)
Before the P-8 could depart, one of Boeing's T-33 Photo-Op planes took off to capture this aircraft's flight. In this video you'll see both aircraft from beginning to end of their day together.
Filmed: April 2014 KBFI Boeing Field in South Seattle, WA USA.
What an absolute beauty that T33! Beautiful civil colors.
Nice to see a Canadair T-33 with a RR NENE 10 fly again, loved working on them in my day, had a light or two as well, nice ride, smooth.
Awesome that the pilot waves at you :D great work
This Really is one hell of a AWESOME video!! Amazing work my friend! Absolutely loved it!
Clearly you had a great spotting ;) good job
Yes, this was one of my best days spotting! Didn't even notice the T-33 pilots waved at me until editing my footage.
:) glad to hear that!
Such a beautiful T-33! Even with those goofy antennae ahead of the nice new one piece windscreen!
What a fantastic video mate! Liked!
Very great video! Excellent work!
Wow, that's AWESOME! Magnificent shots of these great aircraft, well done :) Both are amazing, just like this video ;) Well done and LIKED =D
In a word: FANTASTIC!
On a weird note, I like the looks and design of the nose area of the Boeings 707s, 727s, 737s etc. Yes! I'm an old bastard!
awesome stuff :) !!!
amazing
It's the proposed P-8 AGS (Airborne Ground Surveillance) system.
Work was also beginning on a fatigue-test study to determine the effects on P-8A airframe life of carrying the Raytheon Advanced Aerial Sensor (AAS) long-range, high-resolution surveillance radar. The AAS is a dual-sided, active, electronically scanned array radar with a 40 foot long antenna housed in a pod mounted on a trapeze under the forward fuselage. P-8As fitted with structural provisions will carry the pod if tests signal a go-ahead.
where is a good place to spot at KBFI?
Is this where the t33 flew over the tower?
His payload, what ever it is under the belly, you would think it would be a little more aerodynamic. And i like the cute little drogue chute.....like on a boat.
New equip under the belly and test flight of P8.
How old is that T33? She is absolutely beautiful! I know that we have to keep up with modern technology, but I miss the old P3-C Orion.
I worked on the Bs in the early 70s as an AX.
Built in 1954.
That “attached box” is an AN/APS-154 which people just call pod for short.
Most of us call it AAS or canoe.
I want you to line up with the Japanese Navy's "P-1"!
P-8 AGS
What is the tail drogue chute for? Rudder flutter? Extended comms antenna?
Its to measure static pressure. Common in flight test aircraft.
What is that bell shaped object hanging from the tail?
Trailing wire antennae......
Il me semble que le T-33 était fabriqué par Lockeed et non par Boeing ... Je me trompe ?
Maybe an ECM pod underneath. And what was hanging off it's vertical stab? Was the T-33 flying escort? Kinda looked that way.
Static pressure cone, part of the kit used for flight testing to measure air pressure without disturbance caused by the aircraft. It is extended out in flight to about 1 1/2 wingspans behind the aircraft.
@@gillfitzpatrick7894 That or the worlds tiniest drogue chute!
Not ECM, a radar.
As a former P3C update III crewman, that box on the bottom of the P8 makes me think its some sort of LIDAR...
APS-154
@@ipritch23i93 Ahhh got it, thanks. Wish we had that when I was in... That would have changed the game for us... We only had APS-134
What is that dangling from the tail of the P-8?
Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) Believe it's used for tracking subs with radar.
***** Not the belly, but from the top of the vertical stab. Looks like a a long cord with a black cone at the end.
rtyuio It's a trailing-cone static pressure probe. Gives you a static pressure without the disturbances associated with static ports on the fuselage.
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!

T 33=Lockheed Racer.
So are t33s just cheap/easy to operate? What's the point of a chase plan at all for this?
Aircraft manufacturers use the old T-33 and other types (sometimes F-86) as a photo/observation platform, they take external pictures and video for the engineers to evaluate certain areas of interest, as well they are handy should an emergency or unknown behavior occur.

Why is there a black rope/line flying from the top of the rudder?
That's a punching bag for the crew to use. A good workout always helps in postflight.

SAR Radar pod.
Miles ahead of the P-3. Canada's looking to replace their P-3s around 2030, after the fighter boys get their new toy, whatever that will be.
How's that? Most of the sensors only work a couple of hours (If at all). The P3 on station time has to be Light Years longer than the P8. also flying at Low altitude. Sorry...The P3 routinely went down to 100 feet for night time patrol with Flir! A JET engine is just pouring fuel out at those low altitudes. I thought Canada called them Auroras? Be careful what you say! Unless you have quantitative data to support your claim
Just when we thought the T-33 was gone forever...
Sidescan radar?
the box? YEP! "Advanced" I think Now they can spot subs with it (when it works). the VX squadrons use to test and have all that stuff...Along with no tail markings
That’s what I was thinking, some kind of phased array radar.
LSRS
I think the same a SLAR pod.
Busy airport
Box could be a 'side scan radar'.......
It is
rail gun in box ?
It's a radar that lowers in flight.
Pc3 Orion's were better.
Could the "box" be a MAD boom?
no. MAD is always way in back in the stinger so the metal of the fuselage will not interfere with it. On helicopters it's a pod that is spooled out below and behind for that reason, and on the S-3 Viking it was retractable.
No the objective is to remove the Magnetic signal as far away from the plane and other avionics. Anyway, MAD is the sensor that is used for the KILL and it is an active sensor so they use it sparingly. You do NOT want to emit a signal that the bad guys can connect the dots sorta speak. Plus it can be traced and that is what missiles like to do
@@stevenc8140 The MAD sensor is a passive sensor which detects differences/disturbances in earth magnetic fields, typically caused by a sub underwater, or if you overfly a surface ship, or any other big chunk of metal. So it does not emit anything.
Bjørn Helge Småvollan REALLY? Guess I just blew it and passed a secret on about the MADs I worked with as SS3 operator on P3C’s back in 70’s. Yes somewhat passive. But not. The newer ones probably are!
Bjørn Helge Småvollan like knowing what the daily “Alpha” index is before calibration of the MAD when the bird comes outta the hanger from major work(s)?! That P8? Sorry it looks like ANY 737. Nothing special about it compared to P3s. Was that last run an abort?!
