Heads Up for T-054!
Three days after receiving T-056 fully painted in standard livery (except for serial) at Getafe factory the first MMRTT (T-054) will operate 10-aug LEGT-EHEH on delivery flight, arrival programmed for 16:00UTC, so keep your cameras and radar apps ready.
Cheers
JL

According to this Scramble article the 3th A330 ( most likely T-056) will go to Eindhoven instead of Koln.

Re: Netherlands-led NATO future Airbus A330 tanker fleet
Anyone with the current status of T-055? Not a lot of flying for the last few weeks, with sister T-054 very active. In use as some sort of maintenance trainer or technical trouble?? Or just flying without me noticing this..

Re: Netherlands-led NATO future Airbus A330 tanker fleet
Thanks, I hope it can be fixed soon, 50 % of the fleet grounded is not ideal I think.. But with T-056 coming to Eindhoven there is some extra capacity in the near future.
