The SST was dumped because it was realized it could not be a commercial
success.

Right. Of course. That would be why you lot built the shuttle then, whcih
was such a stunning commeercial success.

( I am, btw, wholly in favour of the shuttle but that's not the point at
hand)

Darn smart business decision. You brought up Boeing not me. I
seriously doubt your claims about subsidies regarding Boeing's commercial
operation can be supported.


Well, the folks at Wichita I met back in the late 90's were pretty open
about US gummint support.
