Downwind66 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This one will "boot, scoot and boogie" also! I was wondering how Boeing got their name on this aircraft. It is a BAe aircraft (British Aerospace), The US Navy was very interested in this as a trainer/light attack aircraft, but, the DC politicians wanted to keep the purchase of these aircraft with a US manufacturer! BAe very much wanted our business, so I guess they seeked help from Boeing and that is how the Boeing name came about on a British aircraft.:rolleyes: Boeing made some of their own changes/mods at the Navy's request! It is a very snappy aircraft and sharp looking at that! Another one of mine that gets the blood pumping! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLW Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It's a sleek looking bird for sure Rick. :cool: Sometimes cooperation between aircraft companies works just fine, other times - not so much. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
