What happened
Boeing continues manufacturing F-15EX aircraft in St. Louis. Separately, officials in Michigan broke ground on a $152 million runway project at Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The project will extend the runway to accommodate next-generation military aircraft, including 21 F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets expected by the end of 2028, which will replace A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft.

Why it matters
The F-15EX production in St. Louis supports the Air National Guard's operational needs. The runway extension in Michigan provides the necessary infrastructure for these next-generation military aircraft, which are scheduled to replace older models at the base.
Boeing has secured a sole-source F-15 contract from the PENTAGON, covering Air National Guard needs and international sales, and has also secured major procurement contracts from U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy services.
