Cost was around $9M per jet. . .when the jet was bought and the production line open. Would be way too costly to open that line again. . .especially when you can justify spending big bucks on a multi-role stealth jet rather than try and defend spending big bucks on a single mission non-stealthy jet.

My hearts in the Hog, anyway. Luv'd flying that jet and shooting the gun. . .most fun I ever had with my pants on.

I'm NOT kidding.

Okay, I'm gonna show my ignorance here, so please educate me. Can all these gee-whizbang fighters *really* do as good a job supporting the grunts as a Warthog? Hell, I'd be in favor of bringing back the old Spad (Skyraider, not snoopy's) to support the infantry.
