Each F-35 is expected to cost $80 million to $90 million, about four times the cost of a new F-16...

So, is each one of these birds worth 4 F-16s equipped with the latest electronic gear?

I know what the Pukin Dog would have said.

>>An option being considered at Beaufort is to build a remote airstrip where pilots could do extensive training before deploying, said Gunnery Sgt. Chad McMeen. <<

What’s wrong with the back runway where VMF(AW)-112 was headquartered? F4H Phantoms used it before they were put in service. Damn afterburners would split your head open (especially after a binge).
