U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Jacksonville, called Brazilian aircraft maker Embraers decision to build 20 aircraft for the U.S. Air Force a win for Jacksonvilles economy.

A great team came together to make a solid case for building this plane in Northeast Florida, resulting in a win for the First Coast economy and our national defense, Crenshaw, a member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, stated in a release.

More importantly, however, this contract underscores the deep confidence by our military that Jacksonville continues to be a military aviation center of excellence.
