Ken is right - the USAF aren't paying a $ so far more than they planned to - OK now they have to pay for the Warthog fix but that's washers

Expensive? That's a value judgement which has been done to death here

What is a problem is that the USAF are getting severely delayed delivery - that they didn't bargain on - on the other hand it hasn't caused the sky to fall in and if you were a super optimist you could say Mr B has actually extended the time the USAF will have to look for a replacement. Future generations may thank them......................
