Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell and U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) today celebrated the selection of the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engine as the exclusive power for The Boeing Company's KC-767 Advanced Tanker.

"Connecticut's aerospace industry has always played a key role in supporting America's armed forces," said Governor Rell.
