Hi Jeff,
Is that BK-04/ZM138 or BK-05/ZM139??
ZM138 was still with Lockheed Martin, but at NAS Patuxent River in February and ZM139 first flew on 5th May.
Regards,
Bob |

Unfortunately, the "@rafview" Twitter post was not that explicit (picked up from "@golflimalpla" Twitter).
In a way, it would have made sense if ZM138 had gone to MCAS Beaufort (as it had been at NAS Patuxent River) and '139 went straight to Edwards - but who knows what L-M may decide to do as trials, and where??
You are most likely correct, though, as '138 has had a lot of time to join 17 Sqdn/461 FLTS at Edwards. |
