Washington DC, USA. 01 July 2023. U.S Air Force flights of the grey-tailed production representative jets (PRJ), a U.S. Air Force pilot flew for the first time the red-tailed engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) aircraft and demonstrated the power and agility of the advanced trainer.

The jet’s vibrant red tail is a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American U.S. military aviators, who flew their red-tailed fighters during World War II.
