CDR Salamander: Ditch the P-8A

CDR Salamander, who, unlike this blog, usually knows what he's talking about, makes a highly provocative case today in favor of Japan's newly-developed Kawasaki Heavy Industries P-X aircraft in comparison to the US Navy's paper concept for the Boeing P-8A.

I'm not optimistic for Kawasaki's plan to convert the P-X into a commercial airliner (a four-engine narrowbody, anyone?), but it does look like a great maritime patrol aircraft.
