“Boeing’s iron Eagle”

Just rubs me the wrong way.

McDonnell Douglas’ Iron Eagle

John Boyd’s Iron Eagle

Boeing’s only real contribution was buying it. (and I have nothing against Boeing)

Same deal with the “Lockheed Martin” F-16. It was General Dynamics all the way. We designed and built a great fighter. L-M bought it.
