Overdue and Over Budget

You can cite examples all day long of failures in USAF procurement. It's legendary. The KC-10A was exemplary in coming in on time and budget.

Transcript from Lou Dobbs Tonight, 27 Mar 08: "..That outsourced Marine One project has not been efficient. The president's new helicopter fleet is behind schedule, vastly over-budget, the cost has nearly doubled in three years. And in fact, that whole project is under review..."

Who's the contractor on that?
