Nope. For 336 pieces, the price would be $90 million each. At the
current buy rate, it's $170 million.

You are looking at way old data. All these delays have driven up costs for
the F-22 program markedly. The smart thing to do would have been to kill
this luster **** in FY99, the first time congress realized they were being
taken for a ride. I am glad they didn't, for the sake of keeping edwards
running, but the program has been a monumental waste of money.
