Hughes had many class As. Rockwell had a few. McDonnell Douglas had some. Boeing had a few. Boeing eventually acquired all of the above. It's possible that they've divested some of them by now. I haven't worked there for almost 10 years.

I can't find one /8 that is assigned to boeing. I think your idea of IP allocation is very outdated.
Well then they've apparently sold them. They had a lot of /8s 10-15 years ago. I used Boeing as an example of wasted IPv4 space and I guess they've trimmed the waste. If all the other companies that are hoarding IPv4 space did the same, everybody would benefit. Someday IPv6 will be "fully deployed" and the IPv4 space will be a relic from the past.
