They appeard on social media earlier in the week, hopefully some air tests for it before it returns to the US.

Hopefully

Knowing the Navy ( which I don't) they will probably just get in and go in the dark!

I wonder if it will be fitted with the rocket assisted take off system which the old"fat albert"used to have?,(it looks spectacular on youtube)

Most likely won't as they were running out a few years ago plus the J has better engines. The ANG LC-130s have recently upgrade the propellers so will be using JATO less.

I think that looks really smart.

How about painting one of our aircraft in Red Arrows Scheme........

That really would be cool (wishful thinking

), with its own set of smoke canisters too

Stock now totally depleted I believe.

Would ruin that lovely paint scheme if they did that
