Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has won a $240 million IDIQ contract to manufacture the wings for the T-38 jet trainers used by the U.S. Air Force. IAI has been producing the wings since 2011, which contributed to the large award. In service with the USAF since the 1960s, the trainers require the replacement of the wings to remain operational for the next several years. Yossi Melamed, executive vice president and general manager of IAI’s Aviation Group, said, “Winning the new contract is further validation of the trust and appreciation the U.S. Air Force has for IAI’s aerostructures.”
