Here is a history of USAF F-35 budget predictions from a post I did last year. Settled a bit from previous years of bad guesses for this alleged biggest buyer of the F-35.
Here is an example of a stack of lies to one of our most important allies.
Steve O’Bryan, Lockheed’s vice-president for the stealth fighter program, said the “biggest misconception” of the F-35s is the cost. He said although the price tag of each jet has jumped $10-million U.S. from $65-million to $75-million, in today’s market that is still quite reasonable considering the jet’s value.
The F-35 has the lowest life-cycle cost in comparison to all it’s the competitors, O’Bryan said, emphasizing that the jet will last more than 40 years.
