US Air Force’s new trainer jet could become its next light-attack or aggressor aircraft

 

The U.S. Air Force’s new T-X jets could be more than just trainers, with aggressor or light-attack missions now on the table for the Boeing-made plane, the head of Air Combat Command said Thursday.

Although buying new T-X trainers to replace the more than 50-year-old T-38 fleet still remains a top priority for that program, the service is beginning to explore whether the T-X could be procured for other uses, Gen. Mike Holmes said at the Air Force Association’s Air Warfare Symposium.

“You could imagine a version of the airframe that could be equipped as a light fighter. You can imagine a version that is equipped as an adversary air-training platform,” he told reporters during a roundtable.

Man undrar ju varför de inte kunde fortsatt nummerserien och döpt den till T-39A när den kommer efter Northrop T-38 Talon?

Därför att T-39 = Sabreliner. Och T-6 = Texan II (som är ett slags PC-9, till skillnad mot T-6 Texan som är en Harvard).

T-54 hade väl varit möjligt, men fråga inte mig varför man både fortsätter den gamla nya nummerserien och den nya nya från 1990 (med återanvända nummer dessutom -- det här inte den första T-7).
