Umm, Lockheed, I think, groundloop. There is a point that some contribution was made by the U.S. governement. Without it there would have been no aircraft for Juan to start from, if you catch my drift. But yes, Boeing did bet the house on the 747 and it paid off. Top marks for that!
And actually no, it isn't boring. I was wondering if I was losing my marbles and the world had gone mad. Thank you for some common sense.
