Makes sense. They cant be stored outdoors in a British climate indefinitely so they either fly again soon or get broken up. The US company that bought them last year must have been paying for storage and anti-det runs. Suppose it makes sense that they will break up two for spares, I always though a fleet of six was ambitious. Omega tanker has never expanded beyond three aircraft so this new outfit I doubt can find work for 6. Should keep the cost of operation down have a plentiful supply of parts.

Last chance to see them tomorrow.
