Love the Boeing bit about having to finance new projects privately while Airbus gets Govt money. Didn't Boeing just lease a few hundred 767 tankers to the US military in a one sided no contest tender deal and charge them out at lease rates far in excess of what it would cost to buy the aircraft outright?
