glad rag, the hornet ab price doubled
I'll let you have the fun of looking at the f-111 price creep, but if you have trouble finding it
U.S. GENERAL accounting office GAO 1973
1965 Initial contract target price $2,067.2
Current contract target price $4,657.1
Government estimate of price at completion $5,344-o
australia placed order in 1963

the 70% f-35 increase is a bargain compared to past efforts that australia has bought

why don't you have a look at the UK f-4 and let us know how that went?
