B737NG military production rate to drop from 18 a year to 12 per year from April 2022, looking for more P8 orders ! A wedgetail order indeed was circling around for a while by the USAF to replace the E3s, here's an articles of it. it. www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing/us-air-force-considers-buying-the-e-7-wedgetail/145576.articleThe first wedgetail for RAF will roll out pretty soon though, the fuselage section was already spotted on the rail in South Seattle, looks like a regular 700 BBJ. |

The first RAF wedgetails are already being converted from old frames already in the U.K. 😉 |

I forgot they were only getting one brand new from Boeing, but the other two are second hand conversions. The Athena radars will only be added in Birmingham, UK though, which is kinda a shame  |

The wedgetail radar installations have always been done away from Renton I think?

The new build RAF wedgetail under construction at Renton 😀 Should we have a separate thread just for the new build E7? Since we already have a P8 thread. |
