Sikorsky And Friends Blast "Foreign" Manufacturers
You wouldn't think, at first glance, that a company founded by a
Ukranian whose family came from Poland and then moved to America
would make an issue out of foreign competition. But that's just
what's happening at Sikorsky Aircraft, where executives say the
President of the United States shouldn't go hither and yon in a
helicopter of foreign manufacture. That might come as a surprise to
Sikorsky's competition in the race to build the next Marine One.
The competition, in fact, is led by none other than America's
second-biggest defense contractor -- Lockheed-Martin.
