Only 58% of it.

Wouldn’t it have been better to build 100% of it?

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.

Next time, Boeing will have its pencils sharpened. And, it won’t try to bribe their way into a contract that was awful for taxpayers.
