⚡️⚡️🇺🇸 According to multiple sources, NASA has put out multiple bids and called upon a large number of former NASA & USAF Maintainers, crewmen and such for the SR-71 Blackbird, citing “above modest” compensation for their time and knowledge to “pass down to the current and next generation” of explorers and such. NASA hasn’t directly confirmed that they have taken custody of the sole remaining SR-71 that wasn’t demilitarized or demilled for museum purposes. @Medmannews

⚡️⚡️🇺🇸 After a long, fought-out process. It appears through a slew of multiple sources, that the Boeing Corporation has won the bid for the U.S Navy’s 6th Generation air dominance fighter jet project known as “F/A-XX”. The final 3 boiled down to: • The Lockheed Martin Corporation (dropped by the Dept of the Navy due to F-35 fulfillment among other things) • Northrup Grumman (The Pentagon apparently claims they did not want to run the risk of the B-21 or Sentinel program suffering from NG potentially doing the F/A-XX) • The Boeing Corporation (Approved despite major setbacks with the F-47, KC-46A Pegasus, ongoing production of F-15EX Eagle IIs & F-15 Strike Eagles, + ongoing support for the A-10 Thunderbolt II, C-17 Globemaster III & C-130 fleets). The F/A-XX program was initially started in 2008, just 2 years after the entry of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the retirement of the F-14A/B/D Tomcat, although initial RFPs weren’t requested until 2012. It is unknown if Boeing plans to utilize the F-47 design for both the USAF & USN’s 6th Generation demands, although it is worth noting that Boeing had been playing the long term with this, having been self-funding their own R&D of a 6th Generation design (initially for the F/A-XX bid) since 2009, with concept art being proposed in 2013 (which would’ve been around the retirement time of majority of the ‘cracked’ developers & designers that remained on staff following the McDonnell-Douglas merger into Boeing in the 1990s/Early 2000s.) The F/A-XX bid currently is set for a 1:1 replacement scale for the US Navy’s fleet of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets & EA-18 Growler electronic warfare aircrafts, which will be around 503 Super Hornets & 153 Growlers, for a combined total of 662 airframes assuming there is no export of the design. @Medmannews
