IAI To Continue Supplying T-38 Wings
IAI's contract to supply wing sets for the T-38 helps keep the U.S. Air Force’s trainer fleet flying until the T-7A Red Hawk enters service.
The T-38C has been in service since 1961. This example operates with the 560th Flying Training Squadron at Randolph Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio in Texas. This is scheduled to be the first base to host the new T-7A Red Hawk. (Photo: U.S. Air Force)

At the end of last month Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) was awarded an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to build wings for the Northrop T-38C Talons in service with the U.S. Air Force. Worth $240 million, the work will be performed by IAI’s Lahav aerostructures business, part of the Aviation Group at Lod.
