A lot of Airbus parts are sourced in the US. A lot of Boeing parts are sourced overseas.

I’ve watched Airbus landing gear assemblies as they were being forged in a plant in Wisconsin. The same plant turns out assemblies for Boeing C-17s and replacement parts for C-5s, as well as signifcant parts of the Space Shuttle’s solid rocket boosters.

“A lot of Airbus parts are sourced in the US. A lot of Boeing parts are sourced overseas.”

Locally, we have a factory that used to make F-16 hydraulic lines and fittings. That whole thing got moved to Mexico.
