   Boeing net orders through 8/31 = 580 aircraft.   
      
   111 of these are for the new 787 Dreamliner.

   Airbust net orders through 7/31 = 299 aircraft.   
      
   Only 10 A380's have been sold in 2005.   
      
   So it seems as Airbusts claim to the #1 spot will be short lived. It also   
   appears that Boeings claim that airlines will prefer the smaller 787 over   
   the A380 behemoth is already proven correct.
