LUCKY77 20-46077 KC-46A AE63B9 on delivery flight out of KBFI/Boeing Field, WA, heading to Seymour Johnson AFB, NC

By my records this should be the 12th and final for the 916 ARW ?
Agreed this is the 12th for 916 ARW. Boeing booked three KC-46A deliveries for November, so with 20-46073 having flown away last week there is probably one more due to leave Boeing Field before the end of the year.

Apparently this is an unmarked example so no serial worn apart from the data block.

AFAIK KC-46As don't wear external data blocks which makes it even more difficult lol! This one did wear N8570Z in the tail on a sticker though.

Was at PAE back in Feb.
A couple of these were up the far end and most frustrating.
At least one was unmarked apart from the line no taped on the NWD.

Unmarked apart from a line number sticker is the norm at PAE, especially for those parked outside the conversion hangar. It seems that when they get to the flying stage now that they remove all identification apart from the civil test reg.

On ADSB-x

Both out of KBFI/Boeing Field, WA on test flights

BOE085 20-46080 B762 AE63BC

BOE469 20-46081 B762 AE63BD

Flightaware.com is also showing a BOE464, which is on the same route as BOE469 but not showing on ADSB-x, which I presume to be N464KC B762 (11-46002).
