RE:La Presse…I think this La Presse article is an important read, and certainly worth translating if you don't speak French. Here's what REALLY caught my eye. I've also added emphasis.
Last April, it created the Bombardier Defense division, based in Wichita, Kansas, where the assembly of the Learjet was formerly carried out. This is where the vocation changes for the Global and Challenger will be carried out. Its Global 6000 — which can travel more than 11,000 kilometers in its original configuration — was selected by Saab as part of the GlobalEye program, an airborne remote surveillance system. Last week, a plane from the same family was delivered to the United States Air Force under a contract announced last year. I didn't realize that Bombardier was THAT far in with the U.S. Military. Imho, this is exceptional and ABSOLUTELY has the FULL potential to be a major revenuse source. This isn't a "would be nice" thing. This first delivery actually happened. Damn that's enticing! :))
