WASHINGTON (AP) - Many are waiting for the U.S. Air Force to
announce who will build the next generation of tanker refueling
aircraft and if it will be built in Mobile.
Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions said the announcement will come
this week, but he has no idea when. He said he's waiting with
anticipation.
The Republican said if Mobile gets the job, the city could get a
lot more aerospace business. Sessions said the announcement could
come this afternoon.
