Prior to TMPS purchasing the planes, they were in "flyable storage." Since then, we are aware of maintenance work, and as I recall some ground tests with engines running. Once the appeal is dismissed, I think we will see a quick ramping up, that includes getting planes to the Newport News location.
The planes are already fitted for refueling, and have seen service as Air-to-Air refueling in the past.
Remember, it was after the bid was submitted and before the award that they moved operations to Newport News, so I think that shows a high level of confidence.
