Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is for the purpose of disclosing information relating to Boeing Capital Corporation (“BCC”) that was contained in the press release and Webcast of the first quarter 2007 financial results of The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), dated April 25, 2007.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 25, 2007, Boeing publicly announced by means of a press release its first quarter 2007 financial results, some of which relate to BCC. The information relevant to BCC is as follows:

Boeing Capital Corporation

BCC increased pre-tax earnings to $73 million on continued improvement in aircraft valuations, while revenues declined consistent with the portfolio (Table 6).

Revenues

   $ 213    $ 237    (10)%

Pre-Tax Income

   $ 73    $ 70    4%

BCC’s portfolio balance at the end of the first quarter was $7.9 billion, down from $8.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006 and $9.0 billion a year ago on normal portfolio run-off, asset sales and depreciation. BCC contributed $173 million in cash to Boeing (dividends and return of capital) during the quarter. BCC’s quarter-end debt balance (excluding intercompany borrowings) decreased to $4.8 billion from the year-end balance of $5.6 billion due to the repayment of 14 percent of its outstanding debt during the quarter as $0.8 billion of long-term debt matured. As a result, BCC’s debt-to-equity ratio remained steady at 5.0-to-1.

BCC’s outlook is set forth in the table below (Table 7):
