Nah not a Boing site, but ya gotta agree it does have a sexier looking wing and body and doesn't look like one of them blow up plastic toy models.

Now if Douglas, Convair, BAe, Dassault, Sud and Fokker were still around with Boing, one could only wonder what we'd be looking at now.

I think I know, it wouldn't be the advanced types we see now.

They would all be locked in the same race to the bottom as we have seen in Oz, trying to make money out of a market that can't support more than one maybe two manufacturers in a way that keeps going forward.
