Great picture SpazSinbad, thanks for the post.

Turbine, I'm glad you're glad (genuinely). A tit for tat debate on cost is futile. Many costs are already sunk and much is yet to be confirmed. Nobody has really debated the relative support cost for maintaining LO after delivery, and the relative savings. Here's a clue: it's a great deal more for F-22. Sustaining that LO level is what will potentially set F-35 apart from all other so-called LO platforms (T-50; J-20).
