US Navy G550 CAEW spotted

Thanks to Scramble, a picture has come to light from an anonymous source with no details of where or when it was taken. 166379 (coded 100) is in the colours of VX-30 "Bloodhounds" who currently operate 5 NP-3D Orions at Point Mugu NAS. Designated NC-37B, it is likely to take "some time" for all the equipment to be fitted and probably a while to identify the frame number.
Update: Best guess at the moment is that this is con 5544 which is still shown as N544GD.

the serial on the photo is N544GD
so does that mean the G550 frame number is 5544
