All in the spirit of your zero referenced numbers, Irby.

Except that I actually *had* some numbers, which are commonly available.
Your "$300 million" price tage, in another post, is just silly.

The costs are already abve $200 million a copy for the F-22 in the current
trimmed down to 220 airframes buy. Amortizing this 20 year program over
less airframes drives the price up rapidly.

The only way you could get $300 million each for the F-22 is if they
cancelled the program, *today*, and took no more deilveries other than
the ones they already have on hand.

No, if the program were cancelled today, each delivered production model
would be over a $billion a copy. As the program is still attemptig to hide
deficiencies, I find it doubtful the program will turn around tis year.

Either way, all the flying the F-22 is doing is a big help for Edwards.
