What was the last LARGE airplane the NG built? How did that go on budget and delivery?

I can't believe we have so many cheerleaders in FR for sending this much military and engineering work overseas.

All you have to do is hire a US company to be your front man (and lobbying arm) promise a couple of states some jobs and POOF instant support.

Don't look behind the curtain at the French governments part ownership and even Russia wanting to buy in. Don't worry about them protecting US technology.

Don't worry about having our own government helping prop up a foreign company whose primary purpose is to challenge and eliminate the US aerospace industry.

BTW a production backlog in commercial airplanes is a good thing. It shows strong demand for your product. This isn't whoppers, you don't crank up the assembly line to meet demand overnight.

I too am shocked.

It would be interesting to know how many of these whiners are not really Americans at all.

An alternative is that some, (a few have admitted it) are simply those who are looking at this as a venal self-opportunity...the best interests of our nation, its warfighters, and their capabilities...be damned.

Then finally, there is an ugly sectional rivalry to some of their sentiments, as if this is the War Between the States all over again.
