T-50A FOR ADVANCED PILOT TRAINING

The T-50A is made to train 5th Generation pilots. The F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II have advanced capabilities that have never before been available. Advanced pilot training is the key to making the most of those capabilities. There is no more effective or affordable way than the T-50A to train the next generation of pilots to fly, fight and win. With more than 150,000 flight hours on the T-50 airframe, the T-50A is ready to deliver ahead of schedule.
