...making progress--the firm already has about 50% of the U.S. nonmilitary helicopter market--with the biggest opportunity being the pending battle to replace the U.S. Air Force's aged refueling-tanker aircraft fleet. The contract, which may be worth $20 billion, was the source of a huge scandal involving Boeing last year over illegal and unethical efforts to land an overpriced deal; Boeing's CEO and CFO lost their jobs, as did top Pentagon officials.
