[edit] Renaming article

[edit] Requested move

Rename: In light of the fact that Turkey and now South Korea have purchased the 737 AEW&C, I'd like to rename the page as Boeing 737 AEW&C. Wedgetail is the project name for the Australian aircraft, and is not used by the other customers. 737 AEW&C is the name by which Boeing refers to the type [1]. - BillCJ 08:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable. --Nick Dowling 09:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Rename done (as Boeing 737 AEW&C) Mark83 00:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wedgetails running two years late

November 24, 2006 AUSTRALIA'S Wedgetail surveillance aircraft are running two years late and might need a redesign of key components to get them to work properly, Defence has revealed.

Speaking after a two-week visit to Boeing in the United States, Air Vice Marshal Chris Deeble, program manager for the Wedgetail program, expressed confidence that Boeing and its sub-contractors would get it right eventually.

Air Vice Marshal Deeble said final details of a delivery schedule were still to be worked out but on current estimates the first aircraft would now arrive early in 2009.
