Lets see how long it takes for China’s Comac state aircraft company to make an offer. They are a key part of China’s industrial plan to replace the US as the dominant supplier of commercial airliners. With the assistance of our FAA in dragging out Boeing’s return of the 737 Max they are amazing making progress everyday.
Someday we will all be flying on Chinese aircraft if the US doesn’t wake up soon.
I was thinking the same. We better start keeping important industries in our hands. No not nationalization, but something.
Interesting. Boeing bought MacDonald Douglas and then proceeded to put their “MD-80/90” series out of business. If they would have just committed to letting the old MD guys do the smaller aircraft they would have been golden. This is not retrospect on my part, I was working in Long Beach back then on the military side and said the same thing.
Yep... Most will laugh at that idea...
They are the like the ones who laughed at people (like my Dad who had good reason to hate Japs) who said: "Someday we will all be driving around in Jap cars if the US doesn’t wake up soon."
