There goes any chance McCain had to win WA
Any small chance he had to win WA in the general just ended.
Quote:
Boeing has lost the long-awaited and lucrative Air Force refueling tanker contract to a competing bid based on an Airbus airplane, Air Force officials said Friday.
The newly named KC-45A plane will be produced by a partnership between Europe's EADS and Northrop Grumman, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said.
The outcome is a shocking upset, kept secret until just before the formal announcement today.
The Boeing loss means that the 767 assembly line in Everett will wind to a close around 2012 when the current commercial orders run out.
