All 10? I thought there were 14 Texans at Valley, or are ZM340-ZM343 still hidden away in their hangar?

ZM340-343 (if indeeed they are their current identities, they may still officially be G-, although I think they have 340 etc on the airframe alread ) have yet to fly since delivery late last year. Some or all have been seen in the hangar from the sand dunes though.

Normally 6 on the line, the 4 new ones are occasionally towed out for engine runs but only 1/2 at any time and they do still carry their civvy regs. The Hangar doors are normally only open whilst they tow the aircraft out/in.

Good afternoon, I see the Texan's are brought out of the hangar by 6.00am, is there a time on a normal day when they are returned to the hangar? Thanks.
