  Foolish takeaway
  Boeing's planes have, and Boeing's stock has, stood the test of time -- 97 years, to be precise. Does all this prove conclusively that Boeing stock should be bought today, at a 19 P/E ratio? Maybe, maybe not. But before you count Boeing out over a couple of mishaps, remember -- its biggest rival today, Airbus parent EADS (NASDAQOTH: EADSY  ) , costs more than 25 times earnings. And EADS has only been around since 2000.
