Bahrain acquires 767-400ER testbed for VIP use

The government of Bahrain has acquired the Boeing 767-400ER that was to be used as the testbed for the airframer's E-10 multi-mission command and control platform. Boeing built the 767-400ER as a testbed for systems integration on the E-10, but was forced to cancel the programme in 2007 because of funding constraints.
For a number of months the airframe - then registered N526BA - sat on the ramp at Snohomish County's Paine Field airport, near Boeing's Everett, Washington facility, where a number of test flights were undertaken by Boeing to keep the aircraft in an airworthy condition. The 767-400ER, pictured at nearby Boeing Field international airport, has since been re-registered A9C-HMH and will replace Bahrain's VIP Boeing 747SP in service.

Great post friend,
This seems to be for Bahrain royal flight and not the for the low cost carrier Bahrain Air as your thread suggests.
