The cost of the B-2 program in 1994 dollars was reported at $737 million per plane; however, the total cost of the program with development, spares, and facilities averaged over $2.1 billion per plane as of 1997 according to the B-2 program office

Glad the crew got out safely. In dollar costs, this is like losing a Space Shuttle.

In dollar terms, more than losing a DDG-51 class Destroyer like the USS Cole.

The unit price would be lower if we bought more of them...
