you mean like the low bid boeing tanker bid, that didn't even last a month before it was said to be more?

@ Just This Once...I did read the dutch link
1.1.1 General


"In June 2012, the Ministry of Defence estimated the costs of purchasing

the JSF at EUR 7.478 billion, on the basis of 85 aircraft, and the operating

costs over thirty years at EUR 13.567 billion (2011 prices, planned dollar

rate USD 1 = EUR 0.75). The Rutte-Verhagen government appropriated

EUR 4.5 billion for the replacement of the F-16."

the current rate is .88 euro to the dollar and I said "your dutch link has at 2012, 85 f-35 at $113m usd for procurement, I don't think that is counted the same as australia or canada as we have about $130m for procurement"
