The U.S. Air Force plans to divest one E-11A BACN jet in FY2025. @airsuperiorx suggested it will likely be 11-9001, and I agree. The 'Snowball' jet has been flying with empty fairings for years and is one of the oldest E-11A BACN jets with tens of thousands of flight hours. 1/2

''Starting life as Bombardier’s original Global Express prototype, the jet first flew (...) on October 13, 1996, and later served as the aerodynamic test bed for the Royal Air Force’s now withdrawn Sentinel R1 (...) platform, before being acquired by Northrop Grumman.'' 2/2
@bizjetsofwar @airsuperiorx Soooo many flight hours on these two...
