Thanks.
USAF numbers are as I reported.
USMC and Navy numbers higher, thereby giving higher average cost. . .but not due to USAF costs. If anything, the USAF costs are keeping it much lower than a basic Navy/USMC buy.
I say let the USAF buy their own and let the Navy and USMC fight over their version.
Would like to see the Navy/USMC budget docs, as they would provide transparency and detail. . .like the USAF docs.
USN variant has some major issues with landing gear and the tailhook for carrier landings. We’ll see where that leads.
