According to an online article on the Panama City News Herald written by Daniel Carson, Tyndall will be getting some new aircraft in 2011.
The U.S. Air Force will be sending a T-38 detachment of 10 jet trainers to Tyndall, with the first round of planes arriving on base by the end of September 2011, according to Sen. George LeMieux, R-Fla. The remaining five are expected to be in place at Tyndall by the end of March 2012.
The plan to base the aircraft at Tyndall will fill an important part of the F-22 air dominance training syllabus and will help fill the gap between the recent retirement of F-15s and planned arrival of the operational F-22 squadron.
The T-38 Talon is a twin-engine, high-altitude, supersonic jet trainer used in a variety of roles because of its design, performance and safety record, according to a release from LeMieux’s office. The 10 T-38s will provide dedicated adversary support to the 29 F-22s currently stationed at the base.
