Default Re: Boeing lost the USAF tanker contract...

Th KC-135 were excellent plane but they have made there time.
I trully care about the US economy because it influence the word economy (BTW, do you know where I am? Never only base you statement on what you see). If it is going fine there, everybody is happy. That shopuld be the case.

The decision taken today (if it is really confirmed) will change things for the US air force in the good way.
It is a hard time for the chicago-based Boeing company (you remember that they relocalized) that is now more an integration company than a plane manufacturer (see the 787, more than 30% is develloped and build outside the US, in Japan and Italy for example). But Boeing has the base to one day retake the lead, I am sure about that and look forward for this day.
