GOOD! They can park them right next to that AirBust disaster........

I hope Boeing will at least mention something about the 747 Advanced.
If the Aflop- 380 is delayed even farther then the recent delay of 6 months, then, it's a good guess that the whole program is in jeopardy.

Boeing to Highlight 787 Dreamliner, 777-200LR Worldliner and KC-767A Tanker Transport Aircraft at Paris Air Show 2005

As well they should. It'll be great to see superior American products on display on the homefield of Airbus. (And this is coming from someone whose company uses Brazilian and Canadian jets and ATR and BAE turbo-props...)

Vietnam Airlines To Buy Four Boeing 787 Dreamliners

HANOI, VIETNAM - Vietnam Airlines will buy four Boeing 787 Dreamliners as part of a plan to expand its fleet to meet increasing travel demands, an airline spokesman said Friday.

Prime Minister Phan Van Khai has instructed the state-owned airline to complete the contract, which is expected to be signed during his visit to the United States on June 19-25, said spokesman Nguyen Chan.

U.S.-based Boeing Co. has said the wide-body jetliners will be delivered to the communist country in 2010. The deal is valued at about $500 million at list prices, although airlines usually negotiate discounts.

Khai will be the first Vietnamese prime minister to travel to Washington. Vietnam and the U.S. are former foes that normalized diplomatic relations 10 years ago.

Will the A-380 be putting in an appearance? < crickets chirping >

"In addition to the 777-200LR Worldliner, 747-400 Freighter and the Italian KC-767A Tanker, several Boeing-built military products are scheduled to be on display, including the C-17 Globemaster III, F-15E Strike Eagle, AH-64D Apache Longbow, and the SLAM-ER and Harpoon missiles. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, flown by Boeing F/A-18 Chief Test Pilot Ricardo Traven, will take part in the daily flying display."

Impressive credentials for Boeing.

What does Air Bus have?

[lmailbvmbipfwedu]

I seem to remember that Air India has just bought some 20 787s. Take that airbus.......

[Paleo Conservative]

Maybe Boeing should send a B-52 to Toulouse.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Ok... I am not a economic expert, but ? since Boeing is getting all of these orders this year, wouldn't that help our trade deficit ? and would that be a good indicator that our economy is doing well ?

Wonder if they will repeat the legendary 707 Roll with one these new aircraft?
