A U.S. Navy P-3 Orion from the Skinny Dragons of Patrol Squadron 4, right, leads a Japanese P-3 in flight over a bilateral force of U.S. and Japanese ships during an exercise near Hawaii Tuesday. The U.S. P-3 Orion is the same surveillance plane the U.S. offered to sell to Taiwan with four Kidd-class destroyers and eight diesel-powered submarines.
