House lawmakers authorize $103M for A-10 wings to save 3 squadrons from retiring

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that Boeing would restart its A-10 wing production line. Although Boeing has rewinged the A-10 in the past, the Air Force has clarified that companies would compete for future contracts.
