The delay was first reported by Breaking Defense, which says the information came from two of its sources.
A Boeing spokesperson said the company is working “closely with the Air Force on a new approved schedule baseline.”
The firm blame the pandemic and the bankruptcy of its now-defunct subcontractor GDC Technics for the delay.
