If those numbers are accurate for 2012 then the growth rate is going to be lower than I had expected. I had expected 158 a/c by end of 2012 to maintain the growth rate of the last 6 years and for commands to be 13+ years. If we only have 147 a/c by end of 2012 then the growth rate is only around 4% in which case command time will stretch out to 17+ years.
So lets hope they start ramping up the orders soon or else commands are really going to stretch out closer to 2 decades!
