Now that really is a hilarious statement.
So you are claiming that Boeing will stop building new airliners altogether?
Or is your contention that the USAF will never change its "4-engine" preference?
Funny - the USAF used to feel that supersonic bombers were the only possible future bombers - but they changed that in the 1960s. They used to think that all fighters had to be M2-capable, but they changed that.
The USAF has replaced its Presidential aircraft every 20 years or so - with different requirements for performance and equipment almost every time.
But I guess you can't help yourself.
