A new U.S. Air Force E-11A BACN (Battlefield Airborne Communications Node) aircraft arrives at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dec. 16, 2022. This E-11A is the newest addition to the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Communications Squadron’s fleet. The E-11A is a U.S. Air Force aircraft that provides unparalleled communications capabilities to coalition forces on the ground and aircraft in the air. BACN extends the range of communications channels and enables better communication among units. It can serve as a communications gateway to allow sharing of information and data between different weapon systems, like F-22s and F-35s. The BACN airframe is a modified Bombardier Global 6000 business jet. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Shannon Bowman)

Nice, but in 6 months, it will be lumpy, bumpy, and all uglied up.
USAF don't like pretty planes.😁
Betcha it got the new car smell inside
Tell that truck to get the hell out the way or get run down.
Looks like a Toyota lane-assist camera just above the radome. 😉

Are those the rebuilt RAF ones?
That was very interesting with all the people swarming over the new aircraft once they parked. Thanks for all the interesting videos over the past year on this channel. And reaching the over 100k
subs this year. Have a very Happy New Year.
Already Pro Line Fusion equipped I assume, unlike the E-11Bs right?
