A lot of people don't realize the amount of planning that goes into a move like this. Having worked for Boeing, I know they don't do anything on a whim. This has probably been in the planning stages for a couple of years, at least. If they move C-17 production out of state, they're already well down the list of coordinating things.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-84847685646747907572010-08-03T07:54:37.804-07:002010-08-03T07:54:37.804-07:00That will be terrible for the local economy.
