I’m surprised it’s going to Mobile. I guess they must need to be close to a port? I would have guessed Huntsville for a number of reasons.

You mean because of the the history? Yeah, that would have been funny.

Exactly. Ideal shipping routes across the Atlantic plus the existing infrastructure / aerospace industry in Alabama. That's why the Airbus tanker would also have been built there had EADS (Airbus' parent company) won the contract instead of Boeing.
