F-35A costs 10% more to operate than F-16 - The DEW Line
"This data was derived in cooperation with the US Air Force and the Department of Defense Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation Office (CAPE). Comparable baseline assumptions were used to evaluate relative operational costs between F-35 and legacy aircraft."

Nonsense, and I'm being very polite. you may feel that the increased capability and survivability isn't worth a dollar amount and I guess you argue the same between the f-15 and the f-22..I strongly disagree
