Good news for Mobile and Alabama. Now all they have to do is build a plant, hire and train people and so on. The KC 135s are old now and will be ancient when the first new tanker rolls out.
I do have mixed feelings over Airbus even with the partnering with Northrop Grumman.
Any idea why the KC-10 wasn’t continued? Was it that stupid peace dividend crap?

There’s a pretty significant aerospace business infrastructure in Huntsville already. That’s pretty do-able.
A friend of mine works at Pemco in Birmingham. They recently lost the KC-135 maintenance contract to Boeing. Luckily my friend is retiring in September.
Mobile was the center for WW 2 aircraft,tanks and other military equipment in 1942-45.
Hunstvile,Al.is called the Rocket center.
Mobile is building fast ships for the Navy and remodeling 747’s for Fed Ex.
Mobile also got the German steel plant,7 million sq.ft..4.2 billin dollars and two new container terminals.Plus new piers to handle ships fom Brazil.
