| 説明 | U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill joined federal and state elected officials for today’s announcement that the Boeing T-X Advanced Pilot Training System, which includes 350 aircraft and ground-based training and support, will be built at their St. Louis facility if awarded the contract from the United States Air Force.“Today’s announcement is further proof that Boeing’s St. Louis workforce is among the best and most innovative in the country,” said McCaskill, a senior member of the Armed Services Committee. “Boeing’s T-X program is truly the future of the U.S. Air Force training and the right choice for training future generations of pilots right here in Missouri.”The Boeing T-X is part of the complete advanced pilot training system and includes state-of-the-art ground-based training and a maintenance-friendly design for long-term supportability. The T-X jet includes a flexible and reconfigurable cockpit to allow a maximum range of training options, and a fighter-like design and performance. McCaskill has consistently supported the work of Boeing St. Louis and the quality of its workforce of more than 14,000 Missourians, including praising the Super Hornet as a reliable, cost-effective part of America’s air power. The bipartisan bill McCaskill supported to fund the government included additional funding for Super Hornets, among other Missouri benefits.Earlier this year, McCaskill applauded Secretary of Defense James Mattis for ordering the Pentagon to review the F-35 fighter jet—which has been plagued by cost-overruns and missed deadlines—including a comparison to the F-18 Super Hornet.Visit mccaskill.senate.gov/defense to learn more about McCaskill’s work to strengthen American national security. |
