JDN,

The S-3B is a righteous bird. Built like brick blockhouse by Lockheed specifically for carrier duty. The President could have been in a safer plane to make a 'trap' on a carrier.

S-3B Viking
Primary function: Day/night surveillance, anti-submarine and surface warfare, aerial tanker
Speed: 518 mph
Armament: Up to 3,958 lbs. (1,781 kg) of AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-84 SLAM missiles, torpedoes, mines, rockets and bombs
Crew: Two to four

I wouldn't mind a little 'right-seat' time in one of those myself.

John :-)
