awesome
That was an awesome video. Would have been nice if we had gotten notice of it sooner so we could have watched live.
i know matt
When I was in the Air Force I worked on Boeing Aircraft and other manufactures. From a mechanics standpoint and that of a passenger, Boeing builds a great airplane. They require very little maintenance other than normal preventative, Pilots love to fly them and passengers rarely if ever complain about their comfort and the planes are beautiful to look at. Of course my first love will always be the 707
Airbus you have along way to come to beat Boeing in these categories.

Weirdly, I can praise Airbus without having a snap at Boeing - awesome! Even more awesome, I like both companies, that's so awesome!!!
Stefan to me it like the difference between people who like Ford's or GM's, never the two meet. I've worked on Boeing, Lockheed and Douglas aircraft and I have to tell you Boeing builds a better aircraft.
I know pilots who have flown both Boeing and Airbus as well as mechanics that work on both. Pilots like stick and rudder control, even if it is fly by wire. Mechanics love working on Boeing planes. Given today's computer modeling I believe it is possible and cost effective to build a plane that pilots love to fly and easy for mechanics to maintain. Boeing must have figured this out.

I really appreciate your answer, I see some pretty unqualified mudslinging on the net and I probably thought this was more of it. It's a shame there are so few manufacturers these days and it's difficult for any real innovation to shine through the smokescreen of digital technology, I'm intrigued (and quite pleased) to know that there really is a difference.
Actually, I DO have a preference for Boeing and I don't know why, I have always assumed it was an historic thing, I think of them as rugged. I always think of Airbus as stunningly modern, hi tec, efficient and fragile! So I like them but....
Thanks for you comment.
