KenV. It would be interesting to see what the F-16v, 50% less price of the f-35 is based on. I wonder if they have given a flyaway price?
I'm curious also. But at least I quoted a source, unlike the nabobs who draw sweeping conclusions based on nothing but assumptions and personal opinion.

The air staff and the Air National Guard have consistently opposed acquisition of “new build” F-15 Eagles, F-16s or F/A-18E/Fs for U.S. forces, insisting that only the capabilities offered by the F-35 will work for the long-term future.
Agreed. But according to the nabobs, all those USAF, USN, USMC, and Air Guard procurement officials are all naive simpletons won over by lying LM marketeers, so they don't count.
