"The british and german are pretty good aircraft makers.""

Sorry but I just can't conceed this to you. I can't think of a good german airplane built since World War 2. I really can't. Not one as epic as a Boeing 737, an F-15 Eagle... British, eeh. Your talking the AV-8 harrier, maybe.

The best aircraft came out of the US and Russia. Now the Europeans are catching on with commercial aircraft, but they have a ways to go until their products start outselling Boeings.
