Zitat:Turkey’s First Peace Eagle Aircraft Rolls Off Boeing Production Line
ST. LOUIS --- The first 737-700 aircraft for Turkey’s Peace Eagle airborne early warning and control program rolled off the Boeing production line in Renton, Wash. this week.
Following the completion of delivery and flight test activities, the plane will fly to Delaware in December for installation of auxiliary fuel tanks. It will then fly back to Seattle where crews will modify the plane at the Boeing Military Flight Center.
The modifications include installation of a reinforced fuselage section that will hold the Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array radar. Provisions for the other mission system equipment will be installed and tested, with first flight scheduled for late 2006.
The contract calls for four 737 AEW&C aircraft, options for two more plus a ground-support segment for mission crew training, mission support and system maintenance support
