The US Air Force has received its first AT-6E Wolverine light-attack aircraft that would help it improve cooperation and sharing of data with allies during operations across the globe.
The twin-seat, single-engine turboprop aircraft was inducted into the armed forces, as announced by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), one of the six centers reporting to the Air Force Materiel Command.
AFLCMC, which is responsible for the life cycle management of Air Force weapon systems from their inception to retirement, announced the arrival of the aircraft on Wednesday (February 17).
Developed by Beechcraft, a division of the Rhode Island-headquartered Textron aviation, the AT-6E is a variant of the T-6 Texan II trainer that is configured for light attack and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

An Air National Guard official wants the Air Force to change height restrictions for career enlisted aviators since it s already done so for pilots.
Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Dawson, the Air National Guard s career enlisted aviator (CEA) field manager, said this week that the height policy, which applies to 10 aviation operations-related jobs, is outdated and limits the Air Force from recruiting more talent especially women for these career fields.
