Wow, this will be an interesting one to follow.

Last I check statute of limitations for aircraft manufacturers was 19 years. Don't know if that even applies in this case.

Thought that was part of the effort to revitalize GA a few decades back and applied only to GA manufacturers but I'm not sure.

In all fairness, there is a LOT more manufacturer support for military aircraft than in GA. Manufacturers often have Fleet Support Teams (FST) working closely with squadron maintenance. That could easily be seen as supporting the product well beyond the date of sale/warranty runs out.

It will be fascinating to watch. He's going after Boeing because military can refuse to respond to a suit so that's his only viable option. If he's lucky, they'll settle out of court to avoid press, but unless his lawyers have incontrovertible evidence, that won't happen. Boeing will roll out their top shelf legal team to fight this one like they have for over a decade on A-12 dispute. It would set a precedent in case of F-15 and they don't want to go there.

Interesting read

Especially the name of the manufacturer: "McDonald"-Douglas?


Is there also a McDonell's Hamburger Restaurant?
:D
