US Navy P-3 Orion – Light Her Up!
US Navy Lockheed P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft spotted conducting training circuits over Tacoma, Washington briefly turns on a bright underbelly searchlight – November 2016
I just noticed the stars and bars symbol on the port wing. The USN just celebrated its aviation centennial–having several aircraft painted using the schemes from previous eras so this may be one of them.

Too cool to see. I never suspected the light to be postponed there.

I can only assume that is what it is. Articles etc. only mention the underwing searchlights. I have never seen it lit up like that before!

Yes it may be, although the new P-8’s seem to have the high viz stars and bars too.
