...handed over to the USAF on August 30 for conversion to E-11A configuration.  The contract with Northrop Grumman covers the integration of the BACN payload into this aircraft, which will then become the fourth E-11A and enter service with the 451st Tactical Airborne Gateway at Kandahar, Afghanistan.
