Does anyone know or have heard rumors when funimation is going to export/subtitle the third OVA series know as Ryo-oki in japan but here as Tenchi muyo? The news about that series has been dead quite since it has been licenced and the torrent links have been taken down on a fan sub site.

Isn't it known in Japan as Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki? And if Funi hasn't said anything about the release, then no one probably knows. I would guess winter/spring next year at the earliest.

Yes, the full title for all three OVAs is Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, but most people simply call it Tenchi Muyo! (and, of course, all the TV and movie incarnations stuck with that abbreviated version, as well).

"Air"? Since when does an OVA "air"?

There are occasionally OVAs (such as, IIRC, Arcade Gamer Fubuki and Alien 9) that air on Japanese TV as specials on the same day as their DVD release, or shortly thereafter.
The primary factor for labeling these as "OVAs" is that they were intended for a direct-to-video market, but during or after production, the opportunity arose for them to air on TV.
That said, I don't remember hearing about Tenchi OVA 3 airing on Japanese TV, so I suspect it's just a mis-speak referring to the video release date instead.
