I saw the following on fox this morning but had a hard time finding a story on it. This is crazy.

Obama Administration Sends Weapons Contract to Foreign Company with Ties to Iran | RedState


Late Thursday night, American company Hawker Beechcraft was informed by the U.S. Air Force that they were not going to be allowed to compete for an American military aircraft contract.

The Air Force has notified Hawker Beechcraft Corp. that its Beechcraft AT-6 has been excluded from competition to build a light attack aircraft, a contract worth nearly $1 billion, the company said.

The company had been working with the Air Force for two years and spent over $100 million to ensure compliance with the requirements for the plane and says the craft (Beechcraft AT-6) met all requirements as shown through a demonstration actually led by the Air National Guard.

Here's the fox video on this story. I can't believe none of the other news outlets are covering it.
