So Much Wrong in One Sentence; Aviation Ed.

Boeing and Cargolux’s partnership has spanned almost 50 years from 1973 when it received its first Douglas DC-8 Freighter before entering the jet age in 1977 with the delivery of its first 747, a 747-200 Freighter called ‘City of Luxembourg‘.

First off, the DC-8 was a jet. Second, a lot of them were made before the merger with McDonnell. Boeing didn't enter the picture until 1997, when they merged with McDonnell-Douglas and subsequently became infected by McDonnell-Douglas's management style.

It's just fucking laziness. One might expect that a website that specializes in aviation news might know something about airplanes. But it appears that would be a bad assumption.
