PDR1,

Thats what the manufacturers want you to believe and is probably close to reality but does not reflect the "price".

Unfortunately they have been caught out throwing a dart at a phone book as well to price things as to who knows why.

Maybe they actually cannot be arsed to work it out on cost plus and just what they think it is worth as a guess.

Boeing got seriously embarrassed many years ago ripping off the US Gummint.

They have a special secret formula.

Hughes 500,

I first worked on 369 and 269 models for a national distributor probably 40 years ago.

The prices were beyond comprehension then as now.

The current model (AHD) that I work with also beggars belief as to how you could operate it "commercially".
