Boeing tells ANN the planemaker will highlight its full range of

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

financial performance is solid, and we are intensely focused on

"Boeing people from across the company will be at the show to
