He knows no better than anybody else how many will be bought. It is perfectly possible that 5 times the number get bought. Equally, there is a worldwide economic crash and hardly any get bought.
Who knows if there is another big conflict that requires a lot of aircraft?
Who knows what Russia might do?
China?
Silly silly guessing game.
