LOL - and a very good company they are too, apparently on their best aircraft they use Rolls-Royce engines, just like that other symbol of American national pride and glory did - the P51 Mustang! ;-)

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? :)
