agree with your first point, I said the euro systems and meant 1st day non-fighter and the ongoing support platforms, which gave the fighters good access
There is an ongoing misunderstanding with the price of the f-35. Australia still holds the price of full rate production of $75m URF and $130m full procurement, although LM is aiming for full production 2012 yr $'s of $67m urf.
The F-35b should come in around $100m full production URF 2012 yr $'s
