um... not to be nit-picky, but the f14 is made by Grumman, the F16 is made by General Dynamics, and the F117 is made by Lockheed.... not really much McDonnell Douglas aircraft in the list there...




Aviation Geek signing out... :neener:
 
After the big rash of mergers, it is:

F-16, F-117 - Lockheed Martin (FKA Lockheed, Martin Marrietta, General Dynamics)

F-14 - Northrup Grumman (Possibly acquiring TRW soon)

F-15 - Boeing Company (FKA Boeing and McDonnell Douglas)

Buy enough companies and you have a rich aviation history ;)
 
That brings up an interesting question:

Who bought Rockwell again? (B-1B)

Oh, and don't forget the F/A-18 and the AV-8B, both McDonnell Douglas products. Also, the KC-10 and C-17, both from Douglas aircraft. (Part of McDonnell Douglas)
 
Boeing bought Rockwell International, North American Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas. The B1-B Lancer is not currently in production.

The fighter planes they currently make are: F/A-18, F-15, and 1/3 of the F-22 (other 2/3 by LM Aero). They also still produce the B-2 Spirit Bomber, the C-17 and C-40A cargo planes. I believe they also make a T-45 trainer and various refueling planes.

I am just happy they didn't get the F-35 (JSF) contract. That thing they designed was an abomination that no self-respecting fighter pilot would fly. Job security for me too. ;)
 
Grumman USED to make the F14 -- the production line has been closed for quite a while.

Are B2s still in production? I thought we'd received all those that had been purchased? I know there has recently been talk about buying some more...
