And the winner of the T-X trainer contract is … Boeing, the U.S. Air Force announced Thursday. It also means an all-new aircraft will enter production, which hasn’t happened in the military market for quite some time.

That US Air Force stamp of approval is important. The Air Force deserves tremendous credit.
