Reply #14: Actually, the Airbus will be built in europe

[dixiegrrrrl]

and assembled here in Mobile, according to a lengthy article in the Mobile
newspaper this weekend.
Parts of the plane will be made in several European countries, even Spain, I think, flown here to build the planes.
Seems strange to me, but after watching all the sub-contracting games going on, led by Halliburton and KBR, parting out pieces of construction seems to be the new business model.
Then when the wings fall off, fingers can point every whichaway.
Actually, after the Navy punished Northrop Grumman Corp.
for the enormous screw ups of the Littoral Combat Ship built in Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi, I am surprised that Gruman got the Airbus contract.
Well, maybe not "surprised"....this IS Bushland.
