by Pat Host

Boeing has started production of the ground-based training system (GBTS) it is developing for its US Air Force (USAF) T-7A Red Hawk advanced jet trainer, according to a company statement.

Boeing started assembling the first two weapons systems trainers (WSTs) and an operational flight trainer (OFT) at the company’s site in St. Louis, Missouri in the fourth quarter of 2020 . These simulators can connect to an actual T-7A cockpit and enable live virtual, constructive, and embedded training scenarios.
