FRCSE Delivers First Red-Striped P-3 Back to the Fleet
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) completed repairs on the first Red-striped P-3C and delivered the aircraft to its squadron in Brunswick, Maine.

The term "Red-stripe" comes from the diagonal red stripe on the Airworthiness Bulletin that grounded 39 P-3C aircraft in December 2007 for structural fatigue concerns on a portion of the lower outer wing, called Zone 5.
