One of the greatest MISSED opportunities of the last few years in the Aviation industry was likely missed by the vast majority of us out there. The story of how Boeing managed to miss a basically FREE airplane design, give it away to their largest competitor AND piss off a bunch of Canadians, is a truly great one.
I am, of course, talking about the Bombardier C-series which later became the awesome Airbus A220, one of my favourite commercial aircraft.
