Just yesterday, EADS North America made their announcement to bid on the Air Force Tanker contract with confidence. EADS Chairman, Ralph Crosby, indicated that the KC45 tanker is undergoing flight testing trials and is expected to be available faster than Boeing. Plans to modify EADS’ own A-330 freighter as well as the KC45 will be carried out at Mobile’s Brookley Field; this could mean as many as 1500 high paying jobs at Mobile AL’s assembly plant as well as other aircraft related plants on the Gulf Coast. EADS will be submitting their bid on July 8th and will then await the Air Force and Department of Defense’s decision.
