They just posted this story on the Chicago Tribune website too. Boeing is based in Chicago now, and there is a lot of surprised folks around here apparently. They have been touting this contract as a done deal lately in the local media. They are saying the contract will actually go to Northrop Grumman who will do the work on the planes which will come from EADS.
