Navy flight training will resume in July when T-45 Goshawk trainers receive fixes to their troubled air supply, the three-star Commander, Naval Air Forces said this week. The aircraft had been flying only limited flights at low altitude for fear an oxygen-deprived pilot would become disoriented and crash.
Now, instructors will start flying again in “early July” and students will follow later in the month, Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker said, with “warmup flights” to refamiliarize with the aircraft followed by regular training flgihts. A Navy spokesperson told me there was “no specific date as yet.”
