Union scum at Boeing getting pawned by their hero Obama. Maybe I am liking Obama more because he exported UAW jobs and now he is exporting union aviation workers.
You union boys and girls did this atrocity to America cause you scum hate the country. You reap what you sew.
What the hell are Americans going to make? Or be superior at?
Aviation is our heritage for heavans sake!
O=ass
They are on a mission to destroy the nation.
This a truth that few here realize.....sadly.

As China is Communist and seeks to eventually spread their ideology worldwide, trading them as heavily as the U.S. does is extremely stupid. Selling them any high technology is treason.
Marvelous.
So-called “free trade” is quite literally, destroying America.
It really is.
We are watching the end of our great nation.
We are being SOLD. By the very people who should be protecting us.
And it is most decidedly NOT JUST DEMOCRATS selling America.
It is the entire so-called “free trade” mess.
All of it. All of them. Are traitors.
They may want the Raptor's tech too, so they can develop their J-XX.
3 more years of this crap?
President Buchanan was pretty bad. He was President Lincoln predessor.
In and of itself, if it was an isolated or solitary event, it wouldn’t be a big deal, But when you look at the big picture and then you look at the big foreign policy and geo-politiacl realignments going on, including zero snubbing democratic allies abroad.
Those stubborn Americans. Good thing for China that we finally kicked the Americans out of the White House.

Perfect!
I think jessdunto was more worried about a plane like the Tu-160. Nice pic though!
We have a bilateral aviation safety agreement with Russia, that would allow such cargo planes designed and built in Russia. However, the An-225 design firm, “Antonov” is based in Kiev, Ukraine, a country we have no such agreement with. That is the reason FAA will not allow the An-124-100 to be re-certified under FAR-25 even if equipped with US engines and avionics.
