    What do you think about the T-7A Red Hawk? Is it worth the wait and will it enter service in 2026?

      Certainly don't want to rush any product from Boeing...

    An interesting and enjoyable video.👏 I'm familiar with the T-7 but didn't know anything about its origins, the T-X program and the challenges that Boeing has faced since being awarded the contract. I also like the WW2 link with the Red Hawk name honouring the Tuskegee Airmen.

    Great little trainer, I hope it’s a success. Boeing doesn’t seem to have a lot going for them at the moment, self inflicted or not.

      @ronile81 Yes, the T-7 has the hallmarks of a great aircraft. Hopefully Boeing can step out from under their current shadow and make a success of it. ~Mike

    I still do not understand what is so much of a problem and why it’s introduction was pushed back so far

    • @airlandmarine

      Thanks for your comment @frankiskeens4081. Ongoing problems with the aircraft’s ejection seats have pushed the in-service date back multiple times. With initial operational capability then further delayed after they had apparently sorted the aforementioned issues. The budget justification documents submitted by Boeing do not detail the reason behind the fresh delays. The Air Force did not have a comment on the delay in publication, and Boeing deferred to the Air Force for comment. Some sources state that it’s a parts issue but the exact reason isn’t clear. In either case I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching. ~Mike 👍🏻

      @@airlandmarine It was informative, but I have my reservations about its future. The idea of using it in an air-to-mud role as a replacement for the F16 is ridiculous. The ability to simulate other aircraft may have some utility, but it really needs two engines instead of one. I have little faith in Boeing, but I've felt this way for many years. I spent four year of my Air Force career traveling to their Kent, WA facility on a monthly basis to negotiate (argue) with them over an air defense system they were building for the Saudis. This was in the mid-to-late 1980s. I wasn't impressed by their ethics or abilities back then and I'm still not now. They've only gotten worse with age. They used to build solid dependable airplanes, but not anymore, nor can they seem to make a safe and reliable manned rocket. What a sad fate for a former aerospace leader and giant.

      @Paladin1873 Glad you enjoyed the video, even if you're not a fan of the aerospace company that it featured. I agree, the T-7 is at risk of being too little too late (hopefully not). As for adaptation for use as a forth-gen equivalent, it's certainly down on power when compared to that of an F-16, but perhaps improved weaponry and new technology such as BriteStorm's Miniature Electronic Warfare System will help offset some of the shortfalls when directly compared to "conventional" forth-gen aircraft? It seems the use-case and desired application for such aircraft is rapidly evolving. Time will tell, but your personal experience and observation that the wheels were coming off at Boing back in the 1980s shows that perhaps their current situation is more deeply rooted in their organization than some would have you believe. At the moment there are many new players on the field that are making old timers like Boeing looks a little outdated in their approach. Hopefully they can turn things around before it's too late.

      @@airlandmarine My own two cents worth is that they first started getting into trouble when they strayed from their core strength of building airliners and ventured into fields they were poorly equipped to handle. Their legacy approach to business is top heavy with management and unions. This makes them lethargic and hive minded. It is ill-suited to the rapid development processes now common among many younger, leaner, more agile companies. I don't see Boeing management or its unions changing, so I expect them to continue their downward spiral.

      @Paladin1873 From what you are saying, it doesn't sound like things will change any time soon. It will be interesting to see how things play out with the T-7 program. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Have you watched any of my other videos? I have a few on aircraft such as the A-10, F-35 and U-2. Also don't forget to subscribe for more videos to come.
