I don't know if you have access to the numbers on logistics, but if you
compare the B-2 with any other bomber, the costs are phenomenal.


I have seen numbers in relation to $ per flying hour. They were shocking.


But aren't those numbers supposed to be coming down quite a bit courtesy of
the new joint covering process? ISTR reading recently that a big part of the
maintenance load for the B-2 was the excessive manhours and materiel needs
for covering all of the joints and fasteners, and the new method is supposed
to radically reduce this?
