It’s been only days since the General Accountability Office said the Air Force made mistakes in awarding Northrop Grumman-EADS a multi-million contract for aerial refuelers in a competition with Boeing. Mobile, Ala., would gain about 1,500 jobs because of the deal to Northrop Grumman.
Now, a billboard along Interstate 65 in Mobile reflects the community’s strong feelings about the development, according to the Seattle Times.
The owner of four Foosackly’s Chicken Fingers restaurants in Mobile has put up a billboard reading: We would like to offer Boeing a finger. The owner has printed T-shirts and bumper stickers with the slogan. So far, it’s not turned in to extra business for the restaurant, however.
