The Wichita Eagle has the latest on Hawker Beechcraft’s ongoing legal and lobbying efforts to win back the Light Air Support US Air Force contract. Hawker Beechcraft and Sierra Nevada – Embraer’s partner in the US on this program – are having a war of words on whose offering has the best “made in America” credentials. Interesting angle for planes that are meant to be used by the Afghan Air Force… The Air Force issued a temporary stop-work order last month; the next step of the lawsuit filed by Hawker Beechcraft against the USAF is scheduled early next month.
