What do we get for $90 million EACH? The F-35. Step into the cockpit: [View all]

[trof]

And step into insanity.



"Each plane clocks in at around $90 million.
So, how many F-35s do we need?
100?
500?
Washington intends to buy 2,443, at a price tag of $382 billion.

Add in the $650 billion that the Government Accountability Office estimates is needed to operate and maintain the aircraft, and the total cost reaches a staggering $1 trillion."

BUT, we get "AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (EO DAS) for the F-35"

A WHAAA...?

My advice: BUY Lockheed stock.
