Lockheed P-3 Orion —
Naval Air Station Dallas Love Field? Was quite the treat to see the resident unmarked US Navy P-3 (callsign "Navy Tango Xray 121") depart while a US Navy P-8 loaded up for departure in the background. This "non-existent" P-3 Orion is thought to be testing equipment for a major defense contractor. It has a Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS) attached to the bottom of it's fuselage. The aircraft itself has no serial or identifying markings other than the US Navy logo.

Those "tactical" call signs - two letters, three numerals - are assigned randomly on on a per-flight basis. This aircraft had a different call sign yesterday, and will have a different one tomorrow. They are designed to provide NO information about the type of aircraft or the mission.
This is not the P-3C BMUP+ LSRS that you are looking for.
