Yeah, but -- has there *ever* been a Govt cost estimate that didn't end up far larger than what was first said?
If the Govt says $1 trillion, count on it being far more when all is said & done.
Of course. It’s still a good deal.
What’s been the total spent on the F-14, 15, 16 and 18 over the entire service lives of all of the aircraft, including flight costs and maintenance? I don’t know... but I bet it’s a similar number.
