Janes said the aussies costed the 24 SH at $24k and the 75 f-35 at $21k per hour
when we had 24 sh we were getting rid of them ~2025, because 24 wasn't viable. now with the added growlers we are keeping to ~2030
If they wanted heavy landing, they'd buy the C
the USN isn't supporting the SH after 2030, so canada will have to foot the R&D upgrade bill for 20 years, it may be shared with brazil if they buy.
