Ameri produzuju zivot T-38
Maintainers extend life of T-38 Talon
Citat:The Air Force's trusted trainer, the T-38 Talon, has a new lease on life thanks to a robust structural-modification program.
Technicians in the Ogden Air Logistics Complex's 575th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, recently completed the first aircraft in the program and are currently working on 11 more.
"Today is a special day, because we get to recognize the efforts of a ton of work ... work that started several years ago," said Brig. Gen. Carl Buhler, the Ogden ALC commander. “But, more importantly to me is the knowledge that this team has delivered and they met their commitment to our Air Force.
"(It is) not only a commitment to create and stand-up this T-38 (Pacer Classic III) modification line, but a commitment to deliver production quality aircraft … that will have their lifespan extended till the 2029 timeframe, which will ensure pilot training capacity for our Air Force," Buhler said.
The program, tabbed "Pacer Classic III," will extend the life of the T-38 Talon to 2029.
According to officials, it is the largest and most invasive structural modification ever performed on the Talon. Each aircraft takes approximately 8,900 man hours.

Boeing wins 10-year T-38C contract as USAF looks to T-X
Citat:Boeing completed a major T-38A/B avionics suite upgrade in 2007, converting 463 Talons to the T-38C standard by replacing analog components with a new digital cockpit. Northrop Grumman, meanwhile, has delivered replacement wings sets over the past decade, while general upkeep of the 55-year-old supersonic trainer is managed organically from the air force’s Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill AFB in Utah.
Meanwhile, structural upgrades to more than 150 T-38s through the “Pacer Classic III” structural modification are being performed by maintainers, extending the venerable trainer’s life to 2029.
This newest contract provides “avionics component integration and contractor logistics support” for the remaining 456 T-38s enterprise and its associated ground-based training infrastructure, which is used by Air Education and Training Command and navy test pilot school at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. Several T-38s also support weapons development and testing.
According to the contract announcement, two proposals were submitted. The second offeror has not been named and it's not certain whether that rival will consider protesting the Boeing selection.
