Boeing wins 6th Generation NGAD contract, beating out Lockheed

also apologies for lack of posts lately, admin here has been busy

Lockheed gets F-35, Boeing gets NGAD, and (you can quote me on this when it’s announced in a year) Northrop gets FA-XX. All the major manufacturers get a piece of the pie. Military aviation contracts have worked this way in a looooong time. They want to keep multiple manufacturers in business.
