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. Click for Full Text!

To: go65 (#0) Eaton damned near pulled out of Jackson a couple of years ago. This is welcomed news on our local level, indeed. Boeing contract will mean additional work for Eaton Corp. in Jackson Boeing’s winning bid for a $35 billion defense contract with the U.S. Air Force will mean additional work for Eaton employees in Jackson. The contract will allow Boeing to start replacing the Air Force’s aging fleet of KC-135s. The planes allow fighter jets and other aircraft to refuel in mid-air. According to a statement from the Pentagon, Boeing will deliver the first 18 aircraft by 2017. In September, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow joined executives from Boeing at an employee rally at Eaton Corp. in Jackson. More than 350 Eaton employees and community leaders attended the event. At the time, Andy Weeks, Eaton vice president and general manager, said local workers would provide components for the fuel distribution system, including fuel hoses and electronic cooling lines. He said the award of the contract would not guarantee additional employment in Jackson but would allow the local site to maintain employment levels. Boeing officials said that if their company lands the contract, that will mean $25 million of investment in Michigan and 450 total jobs at five suppliers in the state. Overall, the Boeing contract would bring 50,000 jobs to 800 suppliers in 40 states. Stabenow wrote she was glad to hear the Obama administration chose Boeing to build the tanker, and said it will support 450 jobs in Michigan. “American tax dollars should support American products from American companies that create American jobs,” Stabenow wrote. “For months, we’ve been calling on the administration to build the Air Force’s new tanker here at home, and I’m glad they made the right decision.” Brian S  posted on  2011-02-25   12:53:58 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 8.         There are no replies to Comment # 8.
