Airvectors.net www homepage, viewed April 21, 2015 (In the 1970s, the US Navy obtained a turbofan-powered carrier-based antisubmarine warfare aircraft, the Lockheed "S-3 Viking", to replace the piston-powered Grumman S-2 Tracker. The Viking provided outstanding service for the Navy through the rest of the century, proving adaptable to a wide range of roles. This document provides a history and description of the S-3 Viking.) Fox Trot Alpha www homepage, viewed April 21, 2015 (The Navy's choice to retire the S-3 Viking in 2009 was thought of by many as extremely nearsighted and brutally lacking in creativity. Now, a half decade later, Lockheed, the aircraft's original manufacturer, wants to resurrect the Vikings from their collective grave in Arizona, and fly them from America's flattops once again in a crucial role.) Virtual Aircraft Museum, June 4, 2015: (The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a United States Navy jet aircraft used to hunt and destroy enemy submarines and provide surveillance of surface shipping) |
