I was duct tape man.

Take one worthless pair of jeans and a shirt and three or four rolls of tape and you're good to go!

My 11 yro loves Boeing
My 8 yro loves Airbus

If I or my hubby ever said we like one Plane builder better than the other.

Our children would treat that just the same as if We said we love one child more than the other. My husband and I keep out of it.

Our oldest loves Boeing.

I have to stay out of that fight Airbus vs Boeing.

I use to work for Lockheed briefly. They bought the company that one the Pentagon Renovation Contract. I liked them they paid once a week. And if you didn't use their healthcare, they paid you a little money back. At least they did 12 years ago. i had a baby and went on perminate maturnity leave
