Bush to the USS Abraham Lincoln where he gave his well documented speech \"Mission Accomplished\". 159387 was given the title \"Navy 1\" and crewed by Pilot Commander Skip Lussier the XO for VS-35 and Flight Officer Lieutenant Ryan Phillips. This was the first time a President landed on a carrier. Two months later the aircraft was retired to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLockheed S-3B Viking\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to meet the US Navy's VSX requirement for an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft to replace the S-2 Tracker, the S-3 was first flown on January 21st, 1972. Designed for long-endurance missions, the aircraft features a wide low-swept wing and under-wing mounted, high-bypass turbofan engines that produce a distinctively low-pitch sound, earning the plane the nickname \"Hoover\" (after the vacuum cleaner). After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ASW role became less significant and the S-3 was increasingly used for surface warfare, surveilance and aerial refuelling missions before being retired from service in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e© Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"airdrop militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49377046200579,"sku":"HA4905","price":300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1031\/8595\/files\/4742ADB5-F4F7-439B-8788-CB204C78065C.jpg?v=1785949770","url":"https:\/\/airdropmilitaria.com\/products\/1-72-hobbymaster-ha4905-lockheed-s3b-viking-navy-1-george-bush-victory-over-iraq-speech-aboard-u-s-s-abraham-lincoln-may-01-2003-vs35-u-s-navy-limited-edition-2016-release","provider":"airdrop militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
