The US Air Force and Navy have exercised a $60 million option for 22 Raytheon T-6ATexan II turboprop trainers for the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System. This takes the number on order to 47 out of a planned 711 aircraft. An additional 24 T-6A-1s have been ordered by Bombardier and will be used in the NATO Flying Training in Canada programme.
