MILITARY ICELAND // Boeing P-8 "Poseidon" approaching Keflavík Air Base
I recently returned from a wonderful vacation in Iceland, and since there's so much to see, I didn't take the time to go plane spotting. Nevertheless, I took some short aviation clips and this is the first of them. A Boeing P-8 Poseidon approaching Keflavík Air Base. I would have liked to show you more of this approach, but unfortunately my camera's battery died, so this video is as short as it is. But I thought I would share it anyway.
The aircraft in the video (MSN 169343) belongs to the US Navy. It was delivered in April 2018 and is assigned to Patrol Squadron One (VP-1), also known as the "Screaming Eagles" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP-1 ), which is why you can see an image of an eagle on the tail. However, I have to say that since the P-8 is based on the successful Boeing 737-800 jetliner, there's nothing screaming about this aircraft as you can hear 😉.
In the video, the plane approaches the NATO-operated airbase at Keflavík, right next to Iceland's only international airport (KEF/BIKF).
