OT Well he's pretty famous <ggg> for NEVER using the dreaded 'veto pen', but it struck me that the Pell cuts mentioned in the articles I posted could have been made up for the most part by cutting ONE F-22 Raptor fighter from the Air Force's complement if you figure in the cost per plane over it's life and with R and D factored in. Best regards, John "The Air Force puts the Raptor's price tag at $160 million per plane, but outside experts estimate they cost more than $350 million each when research and development expenses are added. So far, the Air Force has 56 Raptors, including training and test fighters, at Tyndall, Langley, Nellis and Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The current budget plans call for about 180 Raptors, but the Air Force wants more. Tyndall has the largest contingent."
