How about we just buy 10 a year for the indefinite future? When a better plane is available, buy 10 of them instead.

Ten a year is not only not anywhere near enough, it would also drive up the cost of the individual aircraft--Over the course of the purchases, the taxpayers would get all the pay of low-volume buys and none of the savings of buying and flying fewer jets.
