The Boeing contender for the US Air Force T-X requirement made its first flight today.

Wearing the civilian registration N381TX, the aircraft took to the air from the company facility at St Louis, Missouri with two company-owned T-38 Talons flying chase.

The maiden flight came only 48 hours after Boeing released footage of its T-X aircraft undergoing taxi tests in St Louis.

Since breaking cover with its joint Saab-developed T-X aircraft in September, Boeing has been keen to promote the aircraft and keep reporters updated regarding progress.
