Boeing got a boost in its PR war over a lucrative Air Force contract to build aerial refueling tankers. Northrop won the contract, but Boeing is contesting it.

The Center for Individual Freedom, a conservative political organization, is supporting Boeing based on Northrop's partnering with Europe's EADS defense firm on the project. Boeing would have based its model on a Boeing plane. The Northrop model is based on an Airbus aircraft. EADS is the parent company of Airbus.

Northrop's tanker project would be run out of the Integrated Systems headquarters in El Segundo.

Here's the website that supports Boeing's position.
