Arguing about the 707 is really funny, and complete crap.

That was 60 years ago! 3 generations of workers have come and gone since then. We might as well be complaining about the resources that Europe stole from America before American Independence.

The fact is that Airbus gets more research and tax breaks then Boeing does now, PLUS the launch aid. Just the value of the governments picking up the health coverage of all the European workers is in the billions of dollars...
