Boeing Has 2 Chances to Beat Lockheed

Prices on Lockheed Martin's (NYSE: LMT) F-35 uber-fighter just keep coming down. At the same time, though, Boeing (NYSE: BA) is mounting a furious fight to convince fighter jet shoppers to consider two of its models -- the F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-15 Strike Eagles -- as even cheaper ways to build an air force.

Who will win this budgetary dog fight? Here in the U.S., I've argued that I think the advantage is shifting in Lockheed Martin's favor as it keeps whittling away at the price tag on its F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet. But overseas, the battle's still up for grabs.

This month, the battleground is shifting to a new theater: Germany.
