Sometimes you have to wonder if the governments right hand knows what the left hand is doing .
Today's "Boeing News Now" has an article on Boeing's A-10 re-wing program. Just over 12 months ago, Boeing was awarded a follow on order for 56 more re-wing kits, for a cool $212 million. And despite the USAF stated goal to take the A-10 out of service ASAP, Boeing is not only continuing to build new wing kits but is investing in new tooling to improve productivity in creating the new wings.
