Any good news for us would be certainly appreciated.....
Does anybody remember this deal? "New" (to US airspace) airplanes that are to replace the 80's? FWIW, they are going to buy the type for the FRJ-728 and build them in Kenosha. I bet Tim will get his wife to run that operation, too.
I'll save the space and you can read the link, but here's the big point:

Currently, MD-90s are being built in China by a manufacturing team that includes factories in Xian, Chengdu and Shenyang for component fabrication and subassembly work, and final assembly by SAIC. Final assembly and delivery of the first Chinese-built MD-90 is planned for 1998.
...because that is when Midwest aircraft will go to the paint shop.We need to move quickly, as this needs to be done no later than 3rd quarter, 2010. Your dedication is appreciated.
