Also false. Though i agree its a pretty pointless argument most aviation spotters i've spoken to think the Boeing is the more asthetically pleasing to the eye. Not the other way around.

At best the arbii land a bit more 'nose up', ala a swan putting down on a pond but that is a generalisation as not all boeing aircraft land 'flat' niether (747 doesn't for example).

The airbus vs boeing thing has been done to death. Even the more 'informed' aviation spotters realise its a pointless argument.....let alone amongst the less well briefed....
