Did VP-30 get this 1st LRIP model?
Production representative aircraft are required for IOT&E. T1 through 3 are more the realm of the DT folks at VX-20, but VX-1 guys have flown the, for DT assist and IT.VX-20 and VX-1 have had T-1, 2, and 3 for testing. I'm not sure where they fall in the production numbers, or what will happen to them once they are done testing the birds, but they've been there for a while now. I think when they say production models, they mean "actually going to a VP squadron," in laymens terms...
