Boeing is today (Tuesday 19 June 2007) celebrating after picking up an unprecedented three trophies at last nights relaunched Flight Awards.
President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Scott Carson, was the big winner being named Personality of the Year.
But the US giant also took top spot in the categories for Best Air Transport Product with the 787, and Best Defence Product with the EA-18G Growler. Nearly 400 guests saw Carson receive the accolade in a glittering ceremony at the Pavillon dArmenonville in Paris, and Alain Bellemare, president and CEO of Pratt & Whitney Canada, take the Publisher's Award for outstanding contribution to aerospace.
Flight group editor premium services, Kieran Daly, said: In the 13 previous years of the awards no company has ever won three trophies in one year. Its a testament to Boeings extremely strong performance in the last couple of years that they have achieved this.
Kevin Lohner, a PhD student at Stanford University, California won the Boeing Engineering Student of the Year award in a category launched last year.

So far Airbus is just listing orders they already had (Already announced). At least that’s what I’ve seen. Have you a different source?
Just radio news. That’s as close as I need to get to the MSM so I don’t pick up some microbial infection untreatable with modern technology. A US airline bought 100 units of Airbus.
For your aerospace ping list.
AHH! But Boeing must feed Unions or fold up shop..the Feds say so. Why didnt the the Fed let the unions sue Boeing over setting up shop in a non union state. The end of freedom
