Pax River gets their new Navy CMV-22B test bird for HX-21

The tail # on the eventual C-2A Greyhound replacement is #169435. First of two for HX-21.

BOE-65 inbound Dover C-17 06-6165 "req trans to tail #166".
BOE65 went out of Dover last August so fresh overhaul I assume and prob take 06-6166 with them next.

For those of you waiting for the F-22s coming back to the US....
BLUE 31/32 up and dragging. Heard on HF earlier. No idea if they will be plotting on those hobby 'radar' things but I'm told they did through the Med when people were listening to them on GlobalTuners.
UK airband bulletin boards likely to have info as these flights seem popular here.

Saw BLUE 23,33 KC-135's from the 100ARW up earlier but they did Spain back to UK

Nice pics Ron, Fairly new LJ45 2017 tail N75UM from Bombardier/Lear.
Bombardier news article the other day says they are $12 Billion in the hole and that company most likely will
be broken up and sold off.Maybe someone else will get the Lear Line. Textron/Beech was mentioned.
