BOEING CO. and the Bell Helicopter unit of TEXTRON INC. won a
$208 million contract for work on the special operations
command version of the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, the
Navy said on Tuesday.
There is no such thing as Navy Special Operations Command. These aircraft
are for US Special Operations Command and will be operated by the Air Force.
The only reason the Navy is involved is that Naval Air Systems Command is
the acquisition agent for all Osprey variants.
