Hey all. Looks like the winner of the JSF contract is announced today by the Pentagon, @2100 GMT

Lockheed Martin is tipped to win apparently. I hope they do, the Boeing proposal looks like crap. It's also better for the British aerospace industry, since BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace I believe, but they might just be a subsidiary) has a 15% stake in the Lockheed project compared to 10% in Boeing's.

For the BBC version of the story (it makes a big deal of the British involvement but still has the relevant info), look here:
