Japan’s plan to buy V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft built by Boeing Co and Textron Inc’s Bell Helicopter unit moved forward this week with a formal notification to the U.S. Congress about the $3 billion deal.
The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), which oversees foreign arms sales, notified lawmakers that the State Department has approved Japan’s plan to buy 17 V-22 aircraft, or Ospreys, 40 engines built by Britain’s Rolls Royce Holdings Plc and associated equipment.
The Bell-Boeing team said it would continue to work with the U.S. government to facilitate the sale, but referred questions about the timing of the deal to the U.S. Navy.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
