T-45C training set to start this summer
Article Abstract:
The US Navy will start using T-45C trainer aircraft, provided by Boeing, in its training missions for student pilots. The T-45C aircraft will be the replacement for TA-4J Skyhawk and T-2C Buckeye trainer jets, currently used by student pilots during their actual flight training. T-45C aircraft will be suitable for naval pilot training due to its advanced features such as open-architecture avionics and its similarities with F/A-18E/F and Joint Strike Fighters.
