    Hopefully we'll find out delivery dates during the Farnborough Air Show.

Plus as many have said these large orders mean American and European businesses also stand to lose if the political situation gets bad again.

    Al Baker is not in my good-book since I noticed his attitude during his visit here in Colombo. He asked them why a Chrysler was sent to pick him up instead of a Mercedes
