Magic!
To be wholly authentic it should taxi into the Calibration Hangar every few days, attach itself to my calibration rig for a few hours and then get back to flight testing of course.
Sadly the only time I ever see one is when they do a test calibration run, about every 3 weeks or so, and they call me up there to make sure it works first. They won't let me stroll round the place, apparently I'm a security risk despite paying my share for the whole shooting match. :sad:
The test aircraft are usually parked right outside the Calibration hangar before we open the doors to let it in, and that's the first I see of it. (We have to do the test cals in steady state temperature and humidity etc, thus the closed doors)
I may be able to find out where the parking areas if I ask someone nicely but don't hold your breath please.
