[MilCom] [MilRadioComms] Question - Boeing 767 used for JSTARS replacement

[AllanStern at aol.com]

Many thanks to the several folks who responded. 
The plane was the E-10.

The E-10 finally disappeared at the end  of FY2007 as budget pressures and 
competing priorities pushed it completely out  of the budget. The USAF 
maintained funding for the MP-RTIP radar and may  eventually put the radar on the 
E-8, or on a new aircraft, possibly the same  airframe as the next aerial 
tanker.  The smaller version of the MP-RTIP  AESA radar designed to be flown 
on the RQ-4B Global Hawk is being flight tested  on the Scaled Composites 
Proteus aircraft. Boeing had kept the E-10 prototype  (767-400ER) at Paine 
Field
in Everett, Washington until the prototype was  sold to Bahrain in January 
2009 for conversion into a VIP transport.

There was a program at Northrop Grumman which was to replace the JSTARS  
E-8 with a new plane.  It was to be based on a Boeing 767.  The  program was 
cancelled and the Boeing 767 that Northrop was using for  development is now 
in Europe.
 
I am trying to recall the designation of the plane and any information  
about its current ownership.
