Low operational cost


Compared to other military jet aircraft... Assuming $3 per gallon for Jet-A,
you're probably looking at a best economical fuel consumption of about $1
per nm... 130 gph at 360 kts at 25K ft, for what I understand... Damn, that
even makes my pickup's fuel consumption look good... grin
