Oh the “Tanker War Blog”

Not a very credible source since it was created by Boeing.

Funny who they whine about the supposed kickbacks that Airbus recieved yet doesn’t mention the tax breaks and kickbacks that Boeing gets.

All the KC767 contract will do is keep the production line for the obsolete 767 open beyond 2015.

Now you tell me that isn’t a government subsidy.

And what part of “The whole A330/A330F production line is moving here” did you not understand?

Nope. Try one of the main staffers and solidly patriotic guys from the Center For Security Policy.

So since you got this significantly defamatory assertion wrong, do you admit that YOU are not very credible?

It isn't a government subsidy if you get a product for the money.

What do the German and French taxpayers get for the tax dollars that go directly to support AB in the form of launch aid (that Boeing does not get).

Tax breaks are not a subsidy, particularly if they are available to anybody. AB gets plenty of tax breaks.

Need tax money to widen a road for the A-380, we can do that, need to waive environmental laws to fill in a lake, we can do that.

BTW all those nifty winglets on the tips of Airbus’ airplanes were based on research by....NASA.
