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. https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/afa-air-space/2019/03/06/air-forces-new-trainer-jet-could-become-its-next-light-attack-or-aggressor-aircraft/ Vad var det jag sade?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
