The second T-7A Red Hawk assigned to Air Education and Training Command arrived at Joint Base San Antonio–Randolph, Jan. 15, 2026, marking another major milestone in the U.S. Air Force’s pilot training modernization. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will lead the training of the first T-7A instructor pilots as the Air Force works toward producing 1,500 pilots annually. Designed to prepare pilots for 5th- and 6th-generation aircraft, the T-7A features high-angle-of-attack capability, increased G-tolerance, and Night Vision Goggle compatibility.
