Group to push for Boeing tanker

The state of Washington has a group designed to attract aerospace jobs to the state and push for Boeing to win the Air Force tanker contract. The group, Washington Aerospace Partnership, plans to work with the Council on Aerospace and Aerospace Futures Alliance. Boeing is competing against Northrop/EADS for the contract. Boeing would build them in Washington and Northrop/EADS would build them in Mobile, Ala.
