Andrew Adams, a former Lockheed Martin executive, has joined Boeing as vice president and program manager of the T-7A Red Hawk and T-7 Advanced Trainer programs. Adams announced his appointment on LinkedIn Wednesday.
“The T-7A Redhawk is a game changer when it comes to training future fighter & bomber pilots for the U.S. Air Force and air forces around the world. Digitally designed, built and tested, the T-7A will better prepare pilots for their critical missions with fly-by-wire controls, an advanced cockpit and integrated Live-Virtual-Training,” said Adams.
“Protecting our warfighters, by delivering this new platform’s standard of safety and training is what this team is all about,” he added.
