Wanna move some M1s? - have we got a deal for you - "Wednesday March 31, 7:00 pm Eastern Time Boeing makes U.S. military cut-price C-17 offer WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - news) had offered the Pentagon 60 further C-17 heavy transport planes at a ''drastically reduced price,'' a company spokesman said Wednesday. Boeing's offer comes as the U.S. military considers what aircraft it needs to send and support troops in possibly two simultaneous major conflicts in any region of the world.
