Any sightings of WMATA Xcelsiors in VA yet, or is it an almost New Flyer Free zone?

it's still run by almost all Orions, with the exception of some DE42LFAs in West Ox (they have 6301-6309, 6395-6409, 6568-6572)
and i forgot to add...no sign of Xcelsiors in VA yet
Route Q2. Destination: Silver Spring Station

Tritransit Area

Oh wow, I didn't realize that some LFAs made it to VA. 
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

Did you account for some 3700's like this one ?:

oh yeah, I always seem to forget that. add 3751-3760 to the list of West Ox New Flyers, as well as 6347 and 6348

In case you are still wondering, West OX now has XDE40s #7042-7056. I would imagine that we may get more eventually as the Orion Vs are heading out the door. When Cinder Bed opens (whenever that is), you should expect more LFAs and XDE40s in NOVA to run along side with the Orion VII OG CNGs.
