I remember the $355M LAS contract having a 15 month waiting time associated with it. If it "started" in Jan this year, then we're talking start of Q2 next year. But then there have been the lawsuits (am I right there) and hooplah raised by Beech and since then they have filed bankruptcy (right??). A lot of unrelated Bad Things can happen to this stock in the meantime, so I would not buy now just to "lock in the LAS." Just think, if we're talking Q2 next year, it will be President Mit that may further change things. My position has been that the LAS contract is a "far distant future event" and not one to count on at this point in time. Next year is another story.
