Parece que a Boing tem vários 737 Max construidos e parados no deserto e esta a precisar muito de dinheiro. Que tal converter esse Max em P-8?

A mais recente edição da AFM traz uma peça sobre os nossos P-3C CUP+ da autoria do José Matos que parece dar a entender que os Orion serão para voar até 2035. Se de facto assim for, até lá ainda muito se terá de percorrer, e a minha maior preocupação foi o facto de nesse mesmo artigo não se falar no MLU a que supostamente seriam sujeitas as aeronaves a partir de meados desta década (o que não significa que não venha eventualmente a acontecer).
Em que sentido? A Esquadra voou mais? Os pilotos? Ou uma aeronave em concreto?
