CPI Aero Inc., Edgewood, N.Y., has been
awarded a $49 million contract for T-38C Pacer Classic III (PC III)
aircraft modification kits.
The T-38 aircraft has undergone a
number of structural retrofit programs since its initial acquisition
by the U.S. Air Force. Each of these retrofit programs has either
replaced or repaired major structural components within the T-38
fuselage. The PC III program will replace major longerons,
bulkheads/formers, internal skins and structural floors.
The contractor, CPI, will provide 74
aircraft kits used for structural modifications to sustain the T-38C
aircraft. The work will be performed in Edgewood and is expected to
be complete by Feb. 23, 2021. The Air Force Life Cycle Management
Center, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, organized the contract award.
