Red Hawk over the Alamo!

The first T-7A #RedHawk advanced trainer has arrived at @JBSA_Official in Texas to start training future @USAirForce fighter and bomber pilots. The new advanced trainer brings safe, leading-edge capabilities to the @AETCommand.

[General Ken Wilsbach @OfficialCSAF]

Super excited the T-7 has arrived @AETC! This next-gen trainer will not only replace the T-38 but is the most advanced trainer ever built. Its capabilities usher in a new era of pilot training for future warfighters.

[BAE Systems Air @BAESystemsAir]

We are collaborating with @BoeingDefense and @Saab on a next generation pilot training system based on the T-7 trainer aircraft.

Initially this work will focus on responding to the UK @RoyalAirForce’s requirement for a future trainer aircraft.

@BoeingDefense steps up promotion of T-7A for @RoyalAirForce Hawk replacement need. Red Hawk is "a really good fit" for T1/T2 successor deal, Boeing UK executive says - we're still waiting on formal requirement and procurement plan details to emerge https://t.co/hQPh6b6Bo3

[Boeing Defense @BoeingDefense]

Our T-7A #RedHawk ground-based simulator has successfully demonstrated connectivity between the simulator and an actual @USAirForce T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer flying 130 miles away! This enables realistic training in both real and virtual environments. Let’s go fly!

[Boeing Defense @BoeingDefense]

Red Hawk on the move.
✔️ Integrated live, virtual and constructive simulation
✔️ T-7A Red Hawk production line underway
✔️ Dual flight testing at @EdwardsAFB and St. Louis

The T-7A #RedHawk digitally designed advanced trainer is on course to be delivered to @JBSA_Official this year.

[Boeing Defense @BoeingDefense]

Very cool!

Thanks McKinley Climatic Laboratory team @TeamEglin for taking the T-7A #RedHawk from hot to cold and successfully testing its performance in varied environments.

@ChiefofAirStaff Congratulations - a fantastic appointment

[U.S. Air Force @usairforce]

Dominate the Skies

Get your first look at what will be the most advanced, lethal, & adaptable fighter ever developed... the U.S. Air Force's F-47.
