Boing St Louis lands $30 Billion contract for war planes

Saudi Arabia signs for Boing fighters, hopefully a boost to local economy plus other supporting contractors.

At least the Saudis are likely to pay for their F-15s in cash. Heaven knows the yankee gummint can use the money!

Boeing makes the FINEST aircraft in the sky anywhere PERIOD. (I know this from personal experience ).

As far as the Saudis flying F-15s let's just say I believe it to be similar to giving a Les Baer Custom to an Orangutan (and I know this from personal experience as well; not from giving guns to monkeys but from flying with Saudis). MAYBE he can figure out how to do some good with it and DEFINITELY he will be dangerous to EVERYONE as he tries.
