RE: Airbus And Boeing: Who Bet The Right Way

RE: My Prediction For Boeing In Washington State

The "Max" is the replacement for the NG. The reason it was developed.

The 747 will be around for a long time, as a freighter at least.

The 777 is the new "heavy" for Boeing. It, too, will be around for a long time.
