SANS- Are you kidding me? Take a look at how many $BILLIONS have gone to US OEM's as sole source, "single source" competitions or "ECP" upgrades which are a whole new aircraft
VXX, CRH, FVL/JMR, Navy C-2 replacement (V-22), Navy H-60 fleet, Marine H-1 fleet, H-53K, Army TH-67 replacement (new UH-72s) ....... Any questions?
US companies are well taken care of by US gov't backed funding.
