Lockheed Martin to purchase Sikorsky


Recommended Posts

Was browsing through the internet this morning, and came across an article stating that Lockheed has agreed to purchase Sikorsky from Unites Technologies for 9 Billion dollars.

But did you place the stock order in time?

No in my case... :( I need to get my crystal ball re-calibrated, not working very well lately.

Got a bit of Textron stock, had a pipe dream that they would buy Sikorsky (not sure that this would even work due to anti-trust issues).

Gonna be weird hearing about Lockheed UH-60 Blackhawks or are they going to keep the Sikorsky brand intact? Hopefully Lockheed can keep things going strong. Sikorsky has some challenges in the future (wind-down of the H-60 line, problems with the new CH-53 version).

If this crap keeps up, it'll be the Boeing/Grumman-Northrop/Lockheed-Martin/Ratheon/Sikorsky A/B/C/F/SH/CH-1775 "Whatchamacallit-Thingamajig"

It's up for debate just how much it already is like this. When you start looking at contractors and subcontractors the lines blur really fast.
