Netherlands-led NATO future Airbus A330 tanker fleet

I might have missed it, but for my understanding: which one was at the open days last year, was that T-055 or T-054?

Tee five-four it was.

First operational flight of the T-055 is planned for 20/7 according to an article in the Vliegende Hollander (RNLAF e-magazine)

Heads Up for T-054!
Three days after receiving T-056 fully painted in standard livery (except for serial) at Getafe factory the first MMRTT (T-054) will operate 10-aug LEGT-EHEH on delivery flight, arrival programmed for 16:00UTC, so keep your cameras and radar apps ready.

According to this Scramble article the 3th A330 ( most likely T-056) will go to Eindhoven instead of Koln.

Anyone with the current status of T-055? Not a lot of flying for the last few weeks, with sister T-054 very active. In use as some sort of maintenance trainer or technical trouble?? Or just flying without me noticing this..

Thanks, I hope it can be fixed soon, 50 % of the fleet grounded is not ideal I think.. But with T-056 coming to Eindhoven there is some extra capacity in the near future.

According to several sources T-055 is finally back in the air after a long time stationary at the home base .
