The first T-7A Red Hawk, piloted by Maj. Jonathan Aronoff, 416th Flight Test Squadron pilot, and Boeing test pilot Steve Schmidt, soars over Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Nov. 8, 2023, prior to arrival. The T-7A will replace the 1960s-era T-38 aircraft by providing advanced pilot training capabilities for aviators learning to fly both tactical and bomber aircraft.
