ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this
offering and other matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which

Information by Reference."
Any statement made in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus will be deemed to be modified
or superseded for purposes of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus
supplement or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus supplement, in
the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of
those documents or that the information incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus may be forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words
such as "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates," "targets," and similar expressions are used to
identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events that
may not be accurate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are assumptions that are difficult to
predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking
statements. As a result, these statements speak to events only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligations to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by federal securities laws. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth below and other important factors disclosed previously and
from time-to-time in our other filings with the SEC:

· the effect of economic conditions in the United States and globally;

· the adequacy of coverage, by allowance for losses, of risks related to our non-U.S. accounts receivable being payable

in U.S. dollars;

· the continued operation, viability and growth of Commercial Airplanes revenues and successful execution of our

backlog in this segment;

· the effects of customers canceling, modifying and/or rescheduling contractual orders;

· the timing and effects of decisions to complete or launch a Commercial Airplanes program;

· the ability to successfully develop and timely produce the 787 and 747-8 aircraft;

· the effect on our revenues of political and legal processes; changing defense priorities; and associated budget

reductions by U.S. and international government customers affecting The Boeing Company defense programs;

· our relationship with our union-represented workforce and the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements;

· the continuation of long-term trends in passenger traffic and revenue yields in the airline industry;

· the impact of volatile fuel prices and the airline industry's response;

· the effect of declines in aircraft valuation;

· the impact on our revenues or operating results of airline bankruptcies;

· the extent to which we are called upon to fund outstanding financing commitments or satisfy other financing requests,

and our ability to satisfy those requirements;

· the continuation of historical costs for fleet support services;

· the receipt of estimated award and incentive fees on U.S. government contracts;

· the future demand for commercial satellites and projections of future order flow;

· the potential for technical or quality issues on development programs, including the Airborne Early Warning and
Control program, International KC-767 Tanker, other fixed-price development programs, or commercial satellite

programs, to affect schedule and cost estimates, or cause us to incur a material charge or experience a termination for
default;

· the outcome of any litigation and/or government investigation in which we are a party, and other contingencies;

costs;

· the amounts and effects of underinsured operations, including satellite launches;

These factors and the other risk factors discussed in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
including those in the section titled "Risk Factors," are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause
The Boeing Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of its forward-looking
statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on The Boeing
Company's future results. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Please see The Boeing Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC for more information on these
factors. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus
are made only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus.
