Where ' s Boeing?
In your Aug. 27 article "Locked and Loaded," I noticed two errors. Boeing is headquartered in Chicago, not in Seattle. And EADS did indeed win a $25 billion contract in 2003 to develop and build a military transport aircraft, but the contract was awarded not by NATO but rather by OCCAR, representing Germany, France, Spain, Britain, Italy, Turkey, Belgium and Luxembourg. The aircraft is called the A400M; a total of 180 were purchased under the contract.
