Will the U.S. Air Force choose Boeing to supply the next-generation of mid-air refueling aircraft?

Settled as No

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23413217/

They chose Los Angeles-based Northrop Grumman and its Paris-based partner, European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co.

Background:

THE United States Air Force will make public the largest ever order for wide-body planes on Friday February 29th. The second-biggest military-procurement contract of all time, for refuelling tankers, could eventually be worth more than $100 billion. The USAF will decide which of two contenders—Boeing or a consortium of Northrop Grumman and EADS—will supply an initial tranche of 179 aerial-refuelling aircraft to replace its elderly 530-strong fleet. -Economist


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
