    • Boeing Drags Its Heels on Air Force Bid [view article]
      The Boeing plane is by far the best plane for the job! The taxpayer and the pilots will benefit greatly if the DOD can stop trying to cover up their mistakes and make the selection of the best aircraft. The Boeing plane can land at more airfields, does not require larger runways and is more manueverable and fuel efficient. The AF does not need the larger plane. The 135s return to their bases now usually with over half the fuel in the tank!! Aug 25 02:55 PM
    • In Defense of Northrup-Grumman's USAF Contract Win [view article]
      Probably the best thing for Boeing is for the contract to proceed and there to be problems surface as they have already. Northup is saying how many jobs are coming to America and Airbus is saying how many job are not leaving Europe....already retraction of statements and confusion is surfacing. My husband flew tankers in 2 gulf wars. The Boeing plane allows pilot override of the computer in difficult flying situations and the Airbus plane does not. Ask the pilots currently flying which option they prefer? I trust our pilots more than the French computer. Bad decision! Mar 07 11:52 AM
