First I've ever heard of. At 1,26BUS$ that's a big boo boo. Wonder
what happened. A mouse chewed thru a wire?

You laugh, but..


Wouldn't surprise me.



Glad the guys were able to punch out OK.

Yeah, it's been reported on TV OK. It is the first loss they've had..

$1.26 B(big ones) a piece. and there were less than 30 of them
around, low 20s I think.

21... prior to the accident.

And I've heard the 1.2B figure isn't amortized over the entire program,
it was the 1996 cost of "one more plane"
