Beechcraft to protest Super Tucano award

For the second time, Beechcraft will challenge the U.S. Air Force’s decision to award the Light Air Support (LAS) contract to Embraer and Sierra Nevada.

Bill Boisture, Beechcraft chief executive, says he does not understand why the Super Tucano was chosen despite costing 40 percent more.
