Meh, it's happened before -- think of Vertol being acquired by Boeing in 1960, or Hughes being acquired by MDD in 1984 (and then by Boeing in '96/97). Thinking of the Apache as a Boeing product is second nature today, but it was weird at the time.
'Course, Airbus Helicopters may have to buy-out Alpi Aviation to avoid any confusion between the AH130 EcoStar and the
AH 130 Syton...
