Wait a minute, I first have to find and buy the 707 / VC-135  ;)  
and you're right, Boeing is 15 years behind Airbus  :rolleyes:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Yup, according to Steven Udvar-Hazey of ILFC, airbus is 18 years behind Boeing ;)  Not bad, considering the 787 is just a chinese copy of the A330 :D

Edit: Boeing vs. Airbus, this argument has divided mankind since the dawn of ETOPS :D

Thanks to Amphion's help I've managed to finish it.
So here's the boeing C-42A, new Air Force Two...







I recognize that in this case digital pics tend to mask sins...

Can imagine it touching down all over the world as the President does a global "meet and greet" ... all in a single day!

Beautiful, Archibald!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.
