Photo Comment

This was the last of the 'Speckled Trout' aircraft serving as such from July 2007 to about mid-2015. After this time it flew with the 418FLTS also at Edwards but it's Trout VIP status was taken away. In this photo you can see its LAIRCM fairing at the nose and much broader style fairings underneath ahead of the boom pod.
