US President Donald Trump has today awarded Boeing the contract to build the US Air Force’s most sophisticated fighter jet, handing the company a much-needed win.
…the company that is having trouble keeping it’s doors attached to its airliners.
Another Bang up choice from King Cheeto.
Boeing, the Tesla of the skies.
Going to have recalls when they find out the wings are just glued on.
Trump keeps disarming the US…
Another notch to my conspiracy that Russia really wants to take down Boeing.
My money says this program is going to be poorly managed and not see any planes completed
The F35 already is that. That thing requires so much maintenance that it’s basically useless in any real hot conflict with a peer adversary.
So just to be clear, this is absolutely not how procurement contracts are generally done in the US. This is a new thing we’re doing now I guess. It’s point and pick for the bossman now.
I didn’t think Boeing was known for its fighters (they collaborated with Lockheed on the Rapter, but how much was them vs LH?)…maybe the spirits from McDonnell Douglas will come back to play in the contrails of the Hornet and Eagle.
Or maybe they’ll make a kickass fighter variant of the BUFF.
Ya think any military pilots Willa ctually wanna fly this shit box
