I agree with you on the sales price issue, but you confuse me with the above statement.
IIRC, F-35 is in LRIP.
Here
are links to FY 14 and Fy 15 delivery orders. FY 14 started 01 October 2013. (Take a few grains of salt on the dollar figures if you like, it is a L/M site ... )
This contract signing clearly states that they are at LRIP 6 and 7, which means that LRIPs 4 and 5 are already alive and well. Low Rate Initial Production. The P in LRIP stands for "Production."
Peter, please explain what you mean by "it is not in production."
EDIT: LO, great minds think alike.
