Default Northrop Grumman - EADS wins USAF tanker contract

Looks like a decision has been made, I think the Boeing supporters will be in shock.

Tanker contract award announced

From the link;

"2/29/2008 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Duncan J. McNabb announced the selection of Northrop Grumman as the winner of the KC-X competition for development and procurement of up to 179 tanker aircraft for approximately $35 billion..."

Interestingly, the word 'Airbus' doesn't come up at all in the article.
