I don´t get this too.
Believe me the “europeans” (and i´m one of them ;-)
would never do this (buy someting made in america if they can also manufacture it in the same quality on their own).
Especially in times of a finacial cricis.

Contrary to public persecption Boeing buys the majority of its parts from foreign suppliers. The Airbus tanker and its’ refueling sustems have already been successfully flight tested wit European and Asian Air Forces. The Boeing plane is still on a blue print. The Boeing plane would be asembled in Everett WA by Union workers and subject to work stopages. The Airbus plane would be asembled in Mobile AL (Which the last time I checked was in the U.S.) by non-union workers.
