The last of three Boeing 737s destined to become the next generation of RAF E-7 Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) touched down on UK Soil on July 14.
The aircraft flew from Boeing’s factory in Seattle and landed at Birmingham international airport, the aircraft was sent straight to the hangar of Boeing’s partner within the RAF E-7 programme, STS Aerospace. This partnership had to be set up rapidly using previous know-how from Boeing and Australia who operate the E-7.
