^ Verovatno nužda za one koji kupuju ili imaju F-35, pošto su slični kokpiti. Tako će biti najlakši prelazak iz školskog na lovac. Neznam zašto im ne uđe u glavu, da uz lovac počinju da razvijaju i školski odma kada sklope ugovor? Nego čekaju tender? Razmaženi, samo bi radili s tuđim (državnim) parama.

Air Force reworking approach for T-7A Red Hawk, delaying production by 1 year Citat:The Air Force is changing course for the development of the T-7A Red Hawk training jet, delaying a key milestone by a year while offering new cash opportunities for prime contractor Boeing in exchange for changes to the aircraft, according to service acquisition chief Andrew Hunter.
Under the new plan, the start of the trainer’s production phase, or Milestone C decision, will be pushed back to 2026. To counter that delay, the Air Force will acquire four new production-representative aircraft to provide extra testing capacity, which Hunter said can help accelerate aspects of the program so that initial operational capability (IOC) can be achieved in 2027.
