Because of the recent awarding for Lockheed Martin to build the F-35 we should be good for sponsorship for our team. If Boeing was awarded the contract, we were going to be in danger of loosing all sponsorship and there would be a lot of layoffs here at Rolls- Royce in Indianapolis. Rolls-Royce will be providing a lot of the parts for the engine for the F-35. At first i was kinda disappointed that Boeing didn't get the contract but after i learned that we would have lost our sponsorship, i was overly excited.
Here is a little article that was in the Indianapolis Star about this:
