Looks like a done deal:
Exclusive: Lockheed to buy United Tech's Sikorsky for over $8 billion | Reuters
At $8B plus it is does not look like a good deal (UTC surprised anyone would offer that as they wanted to get rid of it at any cost). As Lockheed aviation is exclusively military this does not bode well for Sikorsky's commercial customers. Maybe Tilton will accept them and lead to the shining experience the MD homeys enjoy.
