    2
  9. Fruitcake One.

    2
  24. That’s classified!!!!
    2
  25. Stuff like this was incorporated into the KC-46.
    2

  32. Right, he probably got a lot of kick-backs from Boeing.
    1
  33. Larger thermal load.
    1

  56. Seeing that the A-380 WASN’T PRODUCED IN THE US, it wasn’t even a candidate!!!
    1
  57. There was no alternative. Boeing was the only company to submit a proposal.
    1
  58. You are totally ignorant and oblivious to reality.
    1
  59. Next one will probably be based on C-X.
    1

  82. A moron told Boeing to do this.
    1
  83. That was Boeing’s CHOICE! I’m sure that they’ll make up for it in the sole source sustainment costs.

  135. ADA requirements were in the requirements before Biden was even elected!!! Remember FDR?!?
