P-8A Poseidon Flybys and Touch-N-Go’s
US Navy P-8A Poseidon Multimission Maritime Aircraft make use of airports all around the Southeast to practice Touch-n-Go’s and Missed Approaches. Tri-Cities Airport has become one of their semi-regular stops with several aircraft making an appearance each month. My workplace and my home are within the landing pattern of Tri-Cities Airport and this has allowed me to capture a number of the P-8A’s while they work the pattern. This gallery is a collection of the myriad images of the P-8A Poseidon that I have captured over the years.
List of P-8A Poseidon Aircraft that have appeared at KTRI: #326, #340, #428, #430, #432, #434, #549 (III), #762, #764, #848, #856
