Lockheed Martin May Get Big Order
Lockheed Martin may get a big new order for fighter jets from Oman to the tune of three-and-a-half billion dollars. Oman wants 18 F-16s, and all the stuff that goes with them. If this deal goes through, it's great news for a company heavily invested in North Texas. Lockheed's backlog of F-16 orders has been shrinking, and the company says it will probably end production around 2012 unless it gets some big new jet orders.
