Boeing tops Airbus in orders

In this record year for commercial aircraft sales, Boeing Co. is expected to edge out Airbus in jetliner orders for the first time since 2000.

Boeing's orders probably will surpass 850 airplanes — more than triple last year's count. Demand was so strong in 2005 that airlines were ordering Boeing aircraft even while a strike by machinists was shutting down its large Seattle-area assembly lines for a month.
