Delays to a flight test program? Yawn... It is more shocking when a test program is NOT delayed. Once under way, I would expect the traditional P&FQ kind of stuff to go pretty quickly unless:
1. The USAF intends to clear a flight envelope that is vastly different from the standard B-767 envelope, or:
2. The flight control system hardware or computer logic has had major changes.
The real excitement should be watching as all the various receiver platforms beging to cycle through the program. There ought to be some great pictures coming out eventually.
