I thought the contract was for 277 Raptors, not 107.

Could be the difference between the number of 'authorized' aircraft and those actually funded to date.

Was killing time in a library going through plenty aircraft books ( Janes and others ) and noticed that almost no aircraft we have bought ever had the full authorization produced. One third to one half is about normal.

Oh, now I see. That could be what the figure 107 refers to. Thanks.
