SNC is preparing to take delivery of the fifth 747-8i from Korean Airlines to modify for the U.S. Air Force’s E-4C program, as it continues its push to keep the program on schedule.
Sierra Nevada Co. on April 29 flew the fourth 747 to its Dayton, Ohio, facility as part of its U.S. Air Force Survivable Airborne Operations Center program.
The future high-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance fleet’s first delivery and flight highlight progress made despite the stop-work order.
