Did you ever wonder how Boeing produces over forty 737 airplanes a month? 
The train arrives with the main body in the morning.  This 3˝ minute video is fascinating.

Talking Boeing.

Did anybody see that thing in US papers.

The prev President has just ordered a new. U S Of A. Presidential plane

4 Billion plus........

My Trumpy Trump says No WAY... and cancelled the order....

Maybe he want to flog off his to them at a reduced rate hey.....

4 bill. so ONE man can travel around on Taxpayers money.
Farken ridiculous I reckon too.

Just think what that could do for medical or kids.

Maybe. Just maybe. The man MAY do some good...

Let's just wait and see hey.
Everybody too busy knocking the man I reckon.

Right or wrong.
Give the bloke a chance.

There's plenty of snipers around if it does become necessary.

4 bill. so ONE man can travel around on Taxpayers money. When you see the specifications for Air Force One you will see that 4 Billion is quite probably a 'conservative' quote.
Farken ridiculous I reckon too. Despite my comments - I do agree with you

 Gday...

As you say ... time alone will determine if the choice of Mr Trump as President was a wise one.

Let's hope that at the end of the four year term, the only thing we are suffering is wishing he had lived up to his hyperbole hmm or lauding him for actually being a leader.

Cheer - John

In 2008 we spent two weeks waiting to do a tour of the Boeing plant but could not do it because the engineers went out on strike the day we arrived.

A major disappointment during our 17 months in USA and Canada

The New plane hasn't actually been ordered yet, they're still in discussions in the "Planning" stage. Irrespective, as already stated, given the specs it won't come cheap. If he's ( Mr T) fair dinkum, the current planes will go another 4 years I would think, by then the electronics will be seriously of of date.

Great and very popular workhorse. I drove a larger one, B747 Classic

321909as.jpg

but not as big as the Scarebus A380. Check out this landing at San Francisco:
