Re: July 2022
I missed it again but 166511 was reported outside at Cambridge yesterday in VX-20? Navy! Markings
So hopefully will catch it on an airtest before it disappears off home

Re: July 2022
Can we merge what appear to be two competing threads, it makes life much easier with one.

Re: July 2022
12:35 very frustrating - the heat haze
You can see three marine corps C-13J
168074 /QD side on to gate 4
167927/QD tail on to gate 4
One inside the hangar nose out - too much haze , reported as 511 - edit sun gone in , definitely 511 on the nose, 166511
Also KAF 326 C-130J is parked down by the two Swedish Hercs (846 and 842)
( HB-LUH da42 parked next to a green piper cub )

Re: July 2022
13:13 166511 had been towed from the hangar
It has a sword and sash on the tail, but unfinished by the looks of it, blue and white are present but lacking any red as yet?
13:25 a fuel bowser has arrived so perhaps some engine runs prior to a series of test flights?
