A Brazilian jet has been testing itself against the winds of western Nebraska, flying in and out of the Scottsbluff airport.
Western Nebraska Regional Airport manager Darwin Skelton said Friday that the KC-390 military cargo and troop transport arrived Monday with about 20 test personnel.
Skelton says local winds apparently have been brisk enough for testing the jet's handling in wind and crosswind. He's uncertain when the testing will conclude.
