| #2 And Boeing was not even invited to join the competition for this contract; the offer was completely unsolicited. Bid drawings, models and proposal all done in a hotel room on Ohio the weekend prior to contract award. Just amazing; and we would have more of the BUFFs flying if not for START and its follow ons.... |
