Buy Chinese... Kill America

Buy one if you think your life is worth $71,000.

If they make it out of rubber they can call it Boiiinnnggg because of the noise it makes when it plows into the ground.

the first U.S. manufacturer to turn over complete production of an airplane to a Chinese partner

Anything over 50% should make them a foreign manufacturer and they should be treated as such.

How depressing

When will Boeing be next?

Watch for it.

A few months ago, Stephen Udvar-Hazy, the head of International Lease Finance, the largest aircraft buyer in the world, gave an address at a conference where he stated that "aircraft prices have become too high, and must come down."

Wanna bet how that will be achieved?

Boeing already has plants all over the world. Wouldn’t be a surprise to see them there.

Another article today where China is building cars in Mexico to ship to the US in a back hand Nafta move. Now planes.

Well, it was nice to be the worlds superpower for a while, wasn’t it?

a move intended to cut production costs and foster a nascent private-aviation market in China.

Cessna officials said China's STATE-OWNED Shenyang Aircraft Corp. will build the new Cessna 162 SkyCatcher

Anyone else see the problem here??

Boo on Cessna. Shame on you. I hope this comes back to bight you folks BIG TIME.

Cessna hopes manufacturing in China will help keep the price of the plane low enough to attract new pilots to counter the dwindling ranks of U.S. recreational fliers.

I'll preface my comments by saying I grew up co-piloting private airplanes -- my father owned four of them over the years. I grew up assuming that I would also own airplanes, because it used to be a hobby affordable to anyone with a median income, but no longer, because prices have soared [pun intended] out of sight. More than anything else, lawyers killed private aviation with huge lawsuits. More regulations and requirements have also driven up the complexity and expense of aircraft. I also recall my first whiff of political correctness after the 1970's oil embargo -- some people opined that it was wasteful buring precious gas in luxury items such as planes and boats.

I’m not flying on ANYTHING made in China.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Bamboo wings won’t cut it....

What do you mean? Most of the aircraft components Boeing produces today are made overseas. Final assembly and outfitting are done here.
