Yes, it's the A350 that's the would-be 787 Killer. (I wish you would stop calling it an E. That was a very stupid, and happily very temporary, move on Boeing's part.) The 380 competes with the 747, which must make Boeing very nervous. Crikey, the poor old 747 is a third of a century old. Given the success of the 787, one wonders whether the A350 will ever get off the ground. Perhaps planes have gotten so expensive now that Airbus will concentrate on building busses, and Boeing on building streamliners. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
