"Replacement cost of the canopy will be $182,205."

If the Air Force gets screwed the same way that the Army does, this thing probably only costs about $10 to manufacture.

Shouldn't cost the Air Force a dime. It's should still be under a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty.

Neither the Army nor the Air Force are getting screwed. You and I are getting screwed.

Yup; screwed.

There should be at least $125,000 of reusable parts in that puppy, that should be recycled into the repairs.

Did they cut the whole thing to pieces; or were the sensible...naw, of course not...and cut out enough of the plexi to get him out, leaving the frame intact?
