Last week, we equipped Air Force Special Operations Command with its first two AT-802U trainer aircraft in preparation for upcoming OA-1K Armed Overwatch operations. We’re excited to support #AFSOC and USSOCOM irregular warfare missions.
#AirCommandos on and around Hurlburt Field will see a new aircraft in the sky starting this week! Two AT-802U trainer aircraft will be used to train test pilots and initial cadre in a representative tail wheel aircraft in preparation for the missionized Armed Overwatch (OA-1K) variant. The OA-1K is a low-cost, reliable, multirole, small-to-medium size aircraft system to support geographically isolated special operations personnel. The aircraft will perform close air support, precision strike, armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in austere and permissive environments.
