Boeing begins T-7A Red Hawk production 24 February 2021 by Pat Host Boeing has started production of its US Air Force (USAF) T-7A Red Hawk jet trainer at its St Louis, Missouri, facility, and has developed roughly 90% of a static test article’s forward fuselage. Chuck Dabundo, Boeing vice president and T-7A programme manager, said on 23 February that Boeing has been working on this static test article forward fuselage since last month. The static test article will be completely assembled once Boeing unites the forward fuselage to the aft fuselage, which should happen in a couple of months, he added.
