[_] F-14 Tomcat

[_] F-15 Eagle

[_] F-16 Falcon

[_] F-117A Stealth

Only one is a McD product (McD is now part of Boeing, but none of the others are Boeing products either)

F-14 was Gruman, now Northrop-Gruman
F-15 was McD (MacDac) now Boeing
F-16 was General Dynamics now Lockheed-Martin
F-117 was Lockheed, now Lockheed-Martin
A-10 was Republic, since that company went away, various companies have provided updates and other support

B-52 is was and always will be Boeing
B-1B was North American now Boeing
B-2 was Northrop, Now Northrop-Grumman

C-17 was McD, now Boeing
C-130 was Lockheed, now Lockheed-Martin
C-5 was Lockheed, now Lockheed-Martin

KC-10 was McD, Now Boeing
KC-135, is was and always will be Boeing. :)

Patriot was and is Raytheon, although LockMart makes part of the system

As you can see there has been lots of cosolidation in the Defense industry since the current generations of weapons systems were first designed.
