A $600 million fighter jet contract is set to secure more than 350 Queensland jobs.
The move comes as Australia looks to boost its air force capabilities.
Boeing Defence has been awarded a contract to cultivate the Super Hornet and Growler fleets for the Royal Australian Air Force.
90 per cent of the contract will be spent in Australia, mainly in southeast Queensland.
The boost follows a recent $2 billion dollar upgrade to the Royal Australian Air Force.

Why? What have we got left to defend???
I've wanted to upgrade my 'Growler' for years but she won't leave! Jokes, Luv Ya Hun!🤣🤡🌏
How about asking Rostec for the worlds best AD systems before attempting to upgrade 90's tech to fly into them!
Where does all this money come?
Gosh I'd love a job in this industry thanks. I am an expert in logistics from mining 👍 20,000 parts reman warehouse. Jets have that many parts maybe and have former British Army officer as reference 👍🦘
When do I start?
this is your cost of living , say NO to the labor and liberal cartels war machine , the threat is they earn to much/spend to much/ and expect you to pay!
The military death cult
Now we need a boat capable of sailing to the Red Sea.
Let's be perfectly honest here! Was the contract ever going to be awarded to any other company but Boeing!?
Y’all are getting a wonderful platform! Go Navy
Supporting America financially as they are broke.
Money laundering scheme
Australia already a failed weak Society and definitely a defenceless one.
Upgrade engines and add throttle vectoring on rear. Stiffen wings and upgrade radar and weapons. The Super Hornet becomes a Killer Hornet
This is still better than the f-35s made in china…
Had to go to Boeing as this is the only domain that CASG can't mess about because they are afraid of the consequences of becoming accountable for airworthiness, the RAAF had done a great job pushing the bureaucrats out of platform and system design.
