F-35 Cancelled, then what ?

[JSFfan]

I put up the costs of the f-16 as per the dutch, it was ~26k per hr, so his 21k wasn't far off theirs and dearer than his f-35 number

with your capability logic, but if you use capability the f-35 is much cheaper than the f-16
air forces assess the f-35 and others with their needs, they say they need the f-35

the GAO uses SAR numbers and SAR has said their cost is dearer than 24k but less than their 32k cost last year. SAR will be released soon.

this cost per hour seems to follow a....depends what's counted....apple to apple comparisons are always nice
