Boscombe Down - 09-12-2024

Post by TonyO » Mon Dec 09, 2024 8:46 pm

Noted here today is G-FTAI, Boeing 757-200 of 2Excel Aviation, which is now conducting regular test flights from here with the first steps in its modification program to support the UK Tempest/Global Combat Air Program initiative. It is now quite distinctive, with side cheeks (think hamster) and under fuselage fairing. Additional fairings on the rear fuselage and on the nose will follow.
