Without any inside info I would have guessed NG for Navy and B for AF.

However, based on what I've been told, I'm under the impression that B will win both.


I wrote this on March 13th.

Another tidbit. I was told that Hegseth told the VCNO that the AF announcement will come first. So it should come out this coming week.


Unless of course someone in the White House objects to one winner takes both .... so I will read any delay beyond the end of March as a last minute change: NG in, B out.


Strange things like this have happened before. The team of Grumman and Beech were verbally notified that they had won the VTXTS program.  A few days later, McDonnell Douglas teamed with BAe were announced as the winner. Few knew that Reagan and Thatcher had just cut a deal.  The UK buys Trident C3 (D4?) missiles and the US buys a navalized Hawk trainer.
