The delay this week of the TY deployment to Europe highlights again the urgency of the KC-46A requirement, with the manufacturer now obliged to deliver the first aircraft this fall. Well, they have plenty frames to choose from with the following noted 31st July

1098 (=46007) "store" line (full serials are reportedly 14-46007 etc)
1100 (=46008) "store" line
(1102) 6009 N50217
(1)56010 (line 1104) (thus 15-46010)
(1)56011 (line 1107)
1109 (=16012) "store" line
1111 (=6013) "store" line
1113 (=6014) on field
1114 (=6015) on field
(1116 from paperwork) (=6016) in "military" hangar
6018 / N5514J parked @ KBFI
6019 / N5514K parked @ KBFI
6022 / N5373S on field
(6023) N6018N on field
76024 "store line"
76025 on field
1132 (= 76026) "military" hangar
76027 on field
76028 on field
6030 / N6009F on field
76031 / 1143 on field
76032 on field
76033 / 1147 on field
76034 on field

3-4 more aircraft almost complete seen during the Boeing factory tour, no details.

SEA Boeing Field 01 Aug, two listed above plus 5 at the NW corner of the field.
N464KC = 6002
N462KC = 6004
N842BA = 6005
N884BA = 6006 KBFI plus one more - any suggestions?

There was also a seemingly unmarked V-22 Osprey on the east side, plus the Blue Angles with 6 x F/A-18As (the B was 162419/7) and KC-130T 164763, any ideas?

I noted N461FT in that area the 2nd of Aug.

And I think 6022 / N5373S should be N5573S.

Your number 2/163485 is correct. I noted that on the 2nd of August, the Blue Angels were in line and the “2” was standing on the side.

On the other side of the field, northeast, were two A-10C’s
78-0684/DM 357th FS
79-0202/DM with “355 OG” markings

The N5514J and N5514K were on the southside of the field.

Thanks to all of you, yes the BA2 is confirmed, and the MV-22B was 168612 (PF/04) of VMM-364. And I guess Laurent is also correct with the N number, the line number is reported as 1126 for this 16-46022.
So that's that. Still waiting to hear about the next few Pegasii, if any of you WAers can add anything?
