Want more stats or different sources?

And realize this - Many of these Boeing products have been around a lot longer than the Airbus products, are flown in third world places in part by shady fly by night operations. There are STILL DC-3's being operated in Latin America! Yet Boeing has hands down the better stats as far as crashes are concerned.

Or am I wrong? :)

lol ... i just knew it would happen :)

see Boeing builds beautiful airplanes... seriously I admire the achievemets of their engineers and most of all their strategic instincts to counter the A380 with the worldliner.

Magnificent move from a company that wasn't moving much in the 90s. Yup - you are correct, the market pressures turn out the best of every company or else...

Certainly the DC 3 is a sturdy little bird as you very correctly stated, but sad to say it's not a Boeing as the DC indicates.
