Just read this, the U.S. plans to buy 2443 of these aircraft, at average cost of close to $200 million each! Unless my blinkers are bonked, that sums up to 400 TRILLION dollars! I'm reluctant to read any further, it's a tremendously long story, but, isn't our total National Debt something like $ 18 trillion right now? What am I missing here? jocular
