The US Air Force’s (USAF’s) Boeing/Saab T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer has fallen as much as 15 months behind schedule after parts shortages, initial design delays and the discovery of aircraft wing rock.
The in-development T-7A jet was scheduled to reach Milestone C, a pre-production programme review, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, according to USAF budget proposal documents. But, the service now anticipates it won’t reach that mark until the fourth quarter of FY2023.

Y avisaban en varios artículos que no es solo colgar un motor nuevo, que hay que hacer reingeneria digital y de cañerias.
Creo que les compensaría más dedicar el dinero al Raider y aguantar tanto B52 como B1 hasta ser sustituidos lo más pronto posible.
Y si hubieran "acertado" con el KC45 ...ahora no tendrían que preocuparse ni de cisternas puente ni de la ancianidad de los KC135.

USAF’s has a new tactical data link system called Heimdall
june 25, 2021
The U.S. Air Force has tested a new tactical data link system called Heimdall. The new system was tested onboard an F-15C during exercise Northern Edge 21.
Heimdall is the product of a partnership between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory and the Air Force’s Aerial Networks Division.
...says Heimdall allows a phased rollout of a data link system compared to TDL technologies. Modifications to the F-15C only took three days at Eglin Air Force Base.
