Anyone?

Is there something strange about the link? Was that very large chart invisible? Or is GK suggesting that I fabricated it? If so, I hope he will come out and say as much directly.

I logged out and could still see it, so if anyone can help GK it would be useful.

Meanwhile, here is some more discussion:

Lockheed: F-35 Can Compete On Cost | AVIATION WEEK

Yes, as I noted above, there is a cost that can be presented as $60 million, although it is based on URFC (which nobody much ever used until now), and won't apply until at least 2018-2019 delivery dates, and is the A-model that the RN is not going to get, and depends on all the international partners sticking to their delivery dates, even though IOC and testing have slipped.
