Heard that an MV-22 from HMX-1 is going to do some approaches at GAI? Can someone confirm on 123.075?

1030- Boeing 126 ( B737-730, N946BC AD238E) working ZDC Casino (127.7) w/request to stay at FL160 for about 30 mins. Test/Maintenance flt? Took off from Georgetown DE and is working off the MD/DE coast.

Interesting tail,was formerly China Deer Jet charter B-5273 but they got rid of their six 737 types
when moving to Airbus. Stored last year but now owned by Boeing as a BBJ. Maybe interior refresh or extra range gas tanks added
at Georgetown. Went offshore instead of Norfolk for testing I assume.
Storage photo still has Deer Jet logos but new Boeing temp reg.

Yes - saw a Twitter post shared from a friend that they made 3 drops into the storm to help nail down specifics and help with future model runs. All rain here in SJ now!

Was not home but on tape had 11:09am local MISTY-12 flight of 2 with ZDC UHF coming East
mentioned meeting someone CT and getting back down to FL320 and rejoin report Marsa and then went offshore with Giant Killer 255.000.
Maybe rejoin and Marsa was with each other before setting off offshore.
Noisy background on the one plane and sounded like a B-52.. They didn't come back this way later.. MISTY is listed as B-2 callsign though.
When A/A on 341.750 called it "channel 14 Aux".
