Boeing Test Pilots Show Off P-8 Poseidon

As pretty much everyone reported at the Farnborough Air Show, Britain — which had waffled considerably over last few months — finally made a firm commitment to buy Boeing’s P-8 Poseidon to keep an eye on Russian submarines.

Britain first made the commitment in a 2015 defense review, as Breaking D readers know.
