BK-03 was never converted, it was always 'combat capable'. The 3rd ITF aircraft was ordered later though.SKB wrote:We don't really have 21, we've got 18. BK-01, BK-02 and BK-04 are still at Eglin AFB in Florida, and they're test aircraft. Maybe they'll get converted like BK-03 was and flown over to Marham to join the others. But probably not.
No chance of the 3 ITF aircraft ever being anything other than test aircraft. Once their stint at Edwards is finished they'll either be retired to UK museums, or there is the potential that they'll be UK test assets at Boscombe Down (but thats unlikely).
