There's been a lot of talk about this - interesting to finally see actual movement, after the abandonment of the "KC-XYZ" staged development...
They have been talking about this type since Popular Mechanics mag back in the 70's.
I'm very skeptical these guys get anything noteworthy flying by 2027.I'm still waiting on the so called supersonic pax planes next.
Sure been crickets on that program lately.

Well, it's thanks to your post early yesterday morning that I was able to change plans and go shoot this DC-8. I was wrapped up in air show plans and forgot to check if the NASA flight was going to be around - so thank you! :) This phase of the program is scheduled to end tomorrow.
Nice catch.Prob the last will ever see of this bird out East here. Scheduled to return Palmdale tomorrow.

President Yoon and Prime Minister Kishida arrived yesterday at Andrews Air Force Base and were met officially.

Today they will be transported to Ft. McNair where they will board Marine helicopters for transport to Camp David where they will be met by the President. According to Ron's list 34.350 (FM), 126.100 and 375.000 have all been reported as Camp David MilAir freqs.

9:30 a.m.: ROK arrival
10:00 a.m.: Japan arrival

ROK President Yoon' Suk Yeol's helicopter touched down at Camp David at 9:17AM, using callsign State One with a flight of 3 (VH3, V22 and VH60 who didn't land/depart McNair but circled and followed, possibly Sec'y of State).

The Japan delegation had a flight of 2 (VH3 and V22) from McNair several minutes later and used callsign State 2. Prime Minister Kishida Fumio alighted from his helicopter shortly after touchdown at 947 am.
