The next B-21 Raider is in the hands of the USAF and alleged to be still on track for an IOC of the mid-2020s. Nice to see positive news/progress out of the test world. With the recent setbacks of both the T-7 and F-15EX, a new on-time (for now) airframe feels good.
Of consequence to the BD fam, there are several ANG/AFRC positions in the test world. The chance of being an ANG/AFRC pilot and getting to go to TPS is almost as high as active duty.https://aviationweek.com/defense/aircraft-propulsion/second-b-21-enters-flight-test-palmdale
