"The KC-30 industrial team is committed to delivering an American military aircraft program, with tanker assembly and production taking place in Mobile, Alabama, and 58 percent of the aircraft, subsystems and support being provided by hundreds of American partners and suppliers. The KC-30 program will result in the in-sourcing of thousands of U.S aerospace jobs." http://www.northropgrumman.com/kc30/operations/section.html

I don’t believe those figures for a second. Outside analysts say that the plane will be largely fabricated in European factories.

I’m angry at the Air Force leadership for this. Angry as hell. I’d like to know what the Democrats are going to say about it. Because opposition to this stinker of a deal could win them a lot of swing support.
