At that time, all eight Customs P-3 aircraft were based at Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi. Between September 1999 and July 2002, Customs will receive eight additional P-3 drug interdiction aircraft, specially outfitted with sophisticated radars and surveillance equipment to detect aircraft suspected of carrying illegal drugs. These aircraft are used to detect planes and boats as they depart known drug source areas, and as they transit the sea and airways heading north. With eight additional P-3's due to come on board over three years, the Service needed a second base to house them. Jacksonville was an ideal location because it is already a P-3 master base which can efficiently train our pilots and maintain aircraft. With its proximate location to the Caribbean, ability to overfly Florida’s expansive coastline which has long been exploited by drug-traffickers, the basing of the Customs Service drug surveillance aircraft at Jacksonville is a natural fit. The Naval air station in Jacksonville has a long history of providing ground support and training for this work-horse aircraft and it is an ideal location to coordinate the P-3's drug interdiction efforts throughout the state. The Customs Service P3s perform a critical service for the nation, helping to safeguard against the influx of illicit drugs. The expansion of the Customs P3 fleet to Jacksonville will increase coverage of drug trafficking routes and, in addition, there will be a synergy between Navy P3 operators and Customs Service P3 operations at the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, as these two organizations can share logistical support and thus reduce costs. Four of the planes to be based at Jacksonville will be outfitted with Airborne Early Warning (AEW) radar, with its unique rotating dome mounted on the top of the plane’s fuselage. The remaining four will be upgraded and modernized P-3s "Slicks", containing state-of-the art surveillance systems and radars.
