Jul 14th 2008 3:08PM Ugh I gaffed, I meant the battle of Yorktown. That's what I get for trying to remember Revolutionary War history while reading a battle of the US Pacific Campaign.

They have higher standards: except in areas of reliability.
I will agree about things like handling, and interior.

This isn't the same kind of partnership that GE/SNECMA have in the CFM56.
