HEH, ever hear of rock-boe-well, pronounced "rockbOwell"

Boeing has been a major player in weapons systems for years. The AGM130 shown is a Boeing product and a very, very acurate guided bomb. that one can be steered into a window by an F15E WSO.

As indian said, McDonnell Douglas acquistion, as well as Rockwell (Space shuttle, etc) Rocketdyne (Delta 1,2,3 and 4) and a few other companies. Unfortunately, they haven't exactly managed it very well, they just eliminated the competition, all but Lockheed. And, I might add, with Lockheed, whoever wins a given contract, the other is the major sub contractor.

i was at an airshow and they called an eagle a "Boeing F-15" I almost vomited. You shouldnt be able to call an airplane your own unless your firm designed it.
