A $155.7 million contract with the U.S. Air Force has Field Aerospace working on flight deck modernization of 178 T-1A (Beechjet 400A) trainers and 30 training devices. Technicians began working on the first one last month after it arrived at Field’s facility in Oklahoma City. Upgrades on the aircraft are being performed to address obsolescence issues and ensure compliance with the FAA’s ADS-B Out mandate. The entire fleet and training devices will be upgraded to a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 system.
