They should all be sent to museums at Microsoft, Intel, Google, et al.

They had to use a chainsaw to cut the $275K canopy on one, because a software glitch wouldn't let the pilot open it.

The Nav computers got lost when the first pair crossed the Intl Dateline.

At $350 Million each, we don't have an enemy worthy of risking them in combat. Notice they weren't used over Libya.
