‘But Northrop, a defense contractor perhaps best known for developing the B-2 stealth bomber, said it would assemble and modify the tanker in Mobile, Ala., making it, in its words, an “American-built” plane.’ Any other questions concerning this matter?

Yes your post is correct. Kansas and Squashinton state will not get the jobs. Shall I now list the jobs that will be generated in 28 states?

Let's start with Alabama.

I have 27 other states to list.

“The KC-45A will be built by a world-class industrial team led by Northrop Grumman, and includes primary subcontractor EADS North America and General Electric Aviation, Sargent Fletcher, Honeywell, Parker, AAR Cargo Systems, Telephonics and Knight Aerospace.”

I believe these are all American companies save for EADS North America, which is the local subsidiary of that European firm.

"The KC-30 industrial team is committed to delivering an American military aircraft program, with tanker assembly and production taking place in Mobile, Alabama, and 58 percent of the aircraft, subsystems and support being provided by hundreds of American partners and suppliers. The KC-30 program will result in the in-sourcing of thousands of U.S aerospace jobs."

The other 48% of the jobs were sold to French Muslims at a USD to Euro of 0.661% !
