Boeing won the U.S. Air Force's $35 billion contract to build 179 aerial refueling tankers, Pentagon and Air Force officials announced Thursday.

Boeing's 767-based NewGen Tanker competed against EADS North America's Airbus A330-based KC-45 tanker in the Air Force's third try at starting to replace Eisenhower-era Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers.

An initial 2003 lease deal for new Boeing tankers fell apart under a cloud of scandal. The Air Force then chose a Northrop Grumman-EADS tanker over a Boeing offering in 2008, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates threw out that result after congressional auditors found serious flaws in the process. This award may also be appealed.

Boeing said a tanker win would mean an estimated 11,000 jobs in Washington, including at the company's Everett 767 assembly line, and a total of 50,000 jobs nationwide. EADS North America said its tanker would support 48,000 U.S. jobs.

No. You filter people because you cannot answer hard questions. You allow like-minded shills to pass through and allow yourself to live in a world of unchallenged delusion. Pathetic, really.

Well, I answered that guy's question - are you just as stupid as Eric was to attack socialist for being against the socialist Boeing contract?

Or in your right wing kook world is tax payer funded military spending and jobs created from it not socialist?
