Boeing Scores Some Nice Work

Boeing bags a nice chunk of orders, including 10 cargo 747-8s from a Russian company. Despite the fact that the Russian state has bought 5% of Airbus's parent and Putin & Co. are desirous of getting a piece of the patronage pie that is Airbus, they couldn't bring themselves to order the cargo version of the A380. Oh wait, there is no cargo version of the A380.
