Remember the 10,000(?) dollar hammer?
Turns out a plant had to shut down for a couple of weeks, restart, go into production to make (maybe) 3 hammers, go through all the red tape, make sure it passed the nuclear blast specs, shut the plant down for two weeks and restart producing the 12 dollar hammers.

Yeah, the “contract stipulations” that chris dodd would attach to defense bills to enrich his cronies at Stanley Tools.
Case in point the GE F404 engine for the then new F/A-18. Everyone (including the receptionist out front, the secretarial staff, the janitors, etc) at the Lynn Engine Plant had to have this one tool costing hundreds of dollars each. The tools come in, and they are cheap phillips head screwdrivers made by Stanley.

Most definitely.
These are part of the reason why all these defense projects cost as much as they do.
Another one is the military housing. Which congress critters got rich off that scam?

Thanks. As far as I am concerned, this is a form of treason.

My (serious) unasked question is what does Boeing or a Boeing customer pay for a regular 747?

The sole difference, in practical terms is the operating voltage of the motors. All other features differ only in capacity.
Simple fact!

All commercial aircraft have refrigerators.
Bigger aircraft have bigger refrigerators.
A party boat like Air Farce Uno is set up to party hearty.

Look I understand your need to have the last word because likly subconsciously you feel that means you were heard and respected...which is flawed logic. Having the last word and needing to have the last word are not the same thing....sooo...Is there anything else you want to add?
