Boeing tells ANN the planemaker will highlight its full range of
products and services -- that are producing record sales across
commercial and defense markets -- at this year's Paris Air Show,
beginning June 18 at Le Bourget airfield, north of the city.
"Boeing goes to Le Bourget with continued momentum and clear
strategies in both our healthy defense systems and growing
commercial airplane businesses," said Tom Downey, senior vice
president, Communications. "Our backlog is at record levels, our
financial performance is solid, and we are intensely focused on
delivering on our promises to customers.
"Boeing people from across the company will be at the show to
