This week the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO held its 38^th annual convention in Philadelphia, PA. Outside of the convention sat a 48 foot Boeing trailer highlighting their KC-787 plane. Visitor could take a shot at flying the large fuel tanker that our military is not purchasing and see the history of in air refueling. The big question is WHY are we buying military planes from any foreign country? Why are the same people who brought us the ridiculous Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast rhetoric the same people who seem to be just fine with the French building our military planes? Maybe we could call the planes Freedom Planes. Visit the Boeing blog here, http://boeingblogs.com/tanker/
