Boeing Company Funds Extension
Because of continued bipartisan congressional support, and increasing public indications that the U.S. Air Force has requirements for additional C-17s, Boeing has extended company funding for production parts to include a total of 15 new aircraft beyond the 205 currently on contract through January, 2011. This decision will protect the option for cost-effective acquisition of C-17s in FY 09. Boeing is taking this action at its own risk with no negative impact to the government. We did not consult with the U.S. Air Force in regard to this decision.
