Boeing 787 spotted in Sri Lanka?


Posted at 1:11 pm by Michelle Dunlop

Curses! I take some time off for the holidays and come back to find the 787 has been flight tested and delivered … to Sri Lanka? Or perhaps this was just a mistaken case of an overly anxious journalist. ...

Boeing, however, did win a $2.1 billion order from India for eight of its anti-submarine P-8I aircraft. The company sees a market for about 100 of its 737-based aircraft, reports Reuters.


Northrop Grumman isn’t wasting any time in 2009 drumming up support for its tanker. The company lauded this piece, by local analyst Scott Hamilton of Leeham Co.

From Northrop’s “America’s New Tanker” e-mail update:

Hamilton observes that while outsourcing has serious implications, the issue was fully overblown by Boeing's labor unions and its supporters in Congress when the Air Force awarded the KC-X aerial refueling tanker contract to Northrop Grumman for its KC-45 tanker based on the European Airbus A330-200 commercial jetliner.

Airbus recently shifted the schedule for its A330-200 Freighter, according to this Flightglobal article.
