SAFE structure designs awarded multiple contracts to support Yulista’s U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon Maintenance and Overhaul Program

Las Vegas, NV SAFE, with a known track recored for supplying safety-first support equipment and precision test systems, announced it has been awarded multiple consecutive contracts to design, engineer, and manufacture specialized tooling and test stands for the U.S. Air Force’s T-38 Talon aircraft.

Under these contracts, SAFE Structure Designs is rebuilding and modernizing critical legacy tooling — equipment that had become outdated or no longer exist, yet remains essential for performing accurate testing, calibration, and maintenance on the T-38’s engines, transmissions, and other vital components.

The newly engineered test stands will support Yulista Integrated Solutions, recently awarded the T-38 Talon Repair, Inspection, and Maintenance (TRIM) program by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Following a thorough review and evaluation process, Yulista selected SAFE Structure Designs for its proven capability, certified quality system, and consistent record of delivering precise, cost-effective results.

“We’re deeply thankful for the opportunity to serve alongside Yulista and the United States Air Force,” said Johnny Buscema, president & CEO of SAFE Structure Designs. “At SAFE, we see each project as a calling to provide excellence with integrity — creating tools and systems that protect lives and strengthen those who protect ours.”

SAFE Structure Designs’ AS9100-certified quality program and its ability to perform under demanding timelines — often delivering ahead of schedule and below budget — were key factors in its selection.

This award continues the long-standing working relationship between SAFE Structure Designs and Yulista, built on a shared commitment to precision, reliability, and service to the U.S. military. Together, the two companies have supported multiple branches of the Department of Defense — including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps — providing safe, efficient, and innovative maintenance solutions across the fleet.
