Boeing, USAF in $295 million AC-130 settlement

The Justice Dept. has notified Congress that Boeing and the U.S. Air
Force have settled a long-standing legal dispute over AC-130 Gunship work
that will net Boeing about $295 million in payments.
Rockwell filed a lawsuit in 1995 arguing the Air Force didn't pay it
the money the company was owed for AC-130 work. The suit continued after
Boeing bought Rockwell's aerospace operations.
The government and Boeing settled the dispute through mediation on
Sept. 30. The $295 million settlement is the largest made through
mediation, one source said. The suit argued that Rockwell had spent several
hundred million dollars in company funds to develop the gunship without
being properly reimbursed.
The settlement creates a serious problem for the Air Force. Boeing
will receive its money from the Treasury, which has a special judgment
fund. However, the AF will have to reimburse the Treasury out of
appropriations made to the service.
