When I took over this jet, it had just arrived from Lockheed Martin. It was the first MMC/CSEP modded block 40. The acceptance inspection was interesting. Bare metal, primer, and grey camo paint faded to white panels held on by 2 screws. Then they made it a CANN bird. Great idea by avionics ripping boxes out of a jet configured in a way you've never seen before. They had to send a rep from LM to put it back together again. Flew great though, and the pilots loved it.
