Boeing Gets First Paris Air Show Order, For 2 Jets

Ralph Crosby, CEO of EADS North America, was confident about the EADS-Northrop team's chances. "We're going to win. We won once, hey, the fundamentals haven't changed," he said earlier this week.

At a news conference Wednesday, investigators from the French air accident agency BEA said more than 400 pieces of Air France Flight 447 have been found but they still have reached no conclusions about what caused the May 31 crash that killed 228 people flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

The Paris Air Show is marking its 100th anniversary. It opened to industry on Monday, and opens to the public Friday to Sunday.
