Russians take stake in EADS

By Seattle Times news services

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking for some info which I should have saved on my 'puter.

Someone here mentioned there's a site where aero afficionados (sp) go to discuss planes, and we 'merkins were having quite a jolly time trashing the Euros and Airbus. I'm looking for the link for my neighbor's son. He wants to design planes.

Thank you.
