Wow! Times they are a changing in the aerospace industry. there was a time when Boeing considered commercial airplanes its primary business.

One wonders who is really behind this Onex group in Canada?

I'm not surprised that Boeing grew weary of Rocketdyne. That place has had management problems for decades and it didn't fit the typical Boeing management paridigm. I wonder if the Anti-trust folks at DoJ will be happy about the two major rocket manufacturers combining? DoD and NASA might not like the results either.

Also noticed Reuters putting this laughable header banner on top of this article:

"Reuters.com - No Spin. No Agenda. Just the Facts. As they happen."

Who are they trying to fool? Rooters is all about spin and agenda. They must be feeling the heat of the blogosphere. ;)

Oh, they'll still sell airplanes (for a while, anyway).

They just won't build them (or at least not much of them, anyway).

It's the Stonecipher business model, the one that was so successful at MacDonnell Douglass...
