name. I must say Russia has some beautiful young ladies. I see why Trump likes Russia and they are white too.

Hourly cost for operation for Air Force aircraft (includes fuel, maintenance, wear-and-tear):

Fighters

F-22 $33,500/hr.
F-15 $41,900/hr.
F-16 $22,470/hr.
F-22 $33,500/hr.
F-35 $28,400/hr.

Bombers

B-1 $57,800/hr.
B-2 $169,300/hr.
B-52 $69,700/hr.

Special Operations

VC-25A (Air Force One) $161,600/hr.

Aerial Tankers

KC-10 $14,700/hr.
KC-135 $23,800/hr.

Cargo

C-5 $78,800/hr.
C-17 $15,600/hr.
C-130 $6,600/hr.

Army Helicopters average $6,000/hr.

Navy Helicopters average $9,000/hr.

I can't find the cost of F-14 and F-18.

These numbers are derived from a variety of sources, some going back as far as 2014.

I'll leave the process of figuring how many of each type aircraft will be necessary for Donnie to get an erection.
