Take Action | Beechcraft AT-6
Send a letter to your legislators asking them to support the contract for the AT-6 because it is the best option for our Air Force and would create American jobs and promote American manufacturing.
In the wake of the USAF dismissal of the award to Embraer, it is vital that you contact your Member of Congress and the DoD to let them know that you support the AT-6 and Hawker Beechcraft's bid to supply LAS aircraft to the USAF. Even if you contacted Congress and the DoD previously, we encourage you to reach out to them again because the situation has changed. You can utilize a new letter located here: http://missionreadyat-6.com/take-action/
