Agreeing with the above i am afraid UKMil. The (face-saving?) 'deal' to get rid of the aircraft in 2002 was just water-testing by the USA and came of nothing. All 8 were still at BD in late 2005, the last flight having taken place in January of that year. There were even attempts to sell them to Middle East countries which fell through.
