Beating Out the French Is Always 
Fun: Boeing took the gold in the head-to-head competition with Dassault over which company would prevail in selling Singapore fighter aircraft. Singapore leaked word Tuesday that it had opted for Boeing’s F-15T over Dassault’s Rafale. The deal could be worth up to $1.7 billion, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It will no doubt make Boeing’s St. Louis workers ecstatic to know the F-15 production line will continue, at least for another four years or so.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
