Paris Blockbuster . . . Maybe the news is not the biggest ever for Boeing, but the order for 20 B747-8F aircraft from Volga-Dnepr Airlines, Russia's leading air cargo carrier, has breathed life into the legendary airplane whose sales have been mostly moribund recently.

   Boeing this week also booked deals with Taiwan’s EVA Airways for five twin-engine 777 freighters. Qatar Airways also ordered four of the cargo aircraft.
   It’s wonderful!
