Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Well the skeeters are pretty lightweight at least till the little blood suck'n bastids get full.

Here's you're answer on the black box......... The Straight Dope: If aircraft "black boxes" are indestructible, why can't the whole plane be made from the same material?

Only 3 + years behind schedule, but they have orders for 500.

Now, if they can just build them.

Oh yeah and the impact it will have if it's not built here in WA.
The libs and unions up North need to wake up and share the pain in this economy or our whole state will suffer even more than it is already.
Down here in SW WA unemployment is still at 13%+.
