On April 17, Philip Teel, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems Sector, spoke at the Atlanta Press Club, saying Northrop Grumman would convert planes made by Airbus into KC-45 tankers in Mobile, Ala., but much of the work would be done in Georgia.
"That program will be the cornerstone for a very, very significant aerospace corridor in the Southeast," Teel said. "It's the linchpin for that aerospace corridor."
Teel said that corridor would have include Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
