This is a contract that, unlike the tanker contract, there is a plausible military basis for questioning (as some folks more qualified than I in the defense community have), although I certainly am not qualified personally to evaluate who has the better argument. Fortunately, because it has a healthy civilian large commercial aircraft business with only one other competitor in the world, this shouldn't keep Boeing out of the running for future contracts if it cleans up its act.
