Boeing's recent issues have caused concern in Wichita, Kansas, a city with a strong connection to the aviation industry. Boeing is considering purchasing Spirit AeroSystems, bringing production back to Wichita. However, negotiations are complicated as Spirit supplies parts to Boeing's rival, Airbus. Wichita earned the title "Air Capital of The World" in the 1920s due to its hosting of over a dozen airplane manufacturers, attracted by the consistent winds of the Great Plains. Despite past fluctuations, Wichita remains a major hub for aviation, with a strong demand for new planes.
