Sit down. Take a deep breath. The US Army’s Joseph P. Cribbins Aviation Product Symposium Project Manager Award is upon us and the winner has been announced! The award from the US Army Cargo Helicopters Project Office was presented this week at a symposium in Huntsville, Alabama.
Boeing’s Aircraft Modificatin Center team based out of Millville, NJ – and its site manager – have won. This is the team that do specialist modifications to CH-47Fs before they get deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.  The team consists of Defense and Government Services and Rotorcraft Support employees from Boeing Defense, Space and Security’s Global Services & Support division.
In 2010, the team modified 31 CH-47F Chinooks, and the contract signed between Boeing and the US Army in late 2009 sets the expectation of a further 148 in the years 2011 to 2013.
