well I mean if they lose a 10 million dollar jet but get a trillion in funding every year
no biggie
IMO it was 1 crash away from being grounded forever
it dumped a bunch of marines into the potomac during this demonstration flight that was supposed to be "look how good we are"
F-16s are probably like $60mm
w e w
15 million
Christ it's fucking 20 years old
15 million is a good price
why do we still have 20 year old jets
what the FUCK it was invented in 78
what the FUCK
f16 is a good jet imo
it is
where did you get that info convo?
that was probably initial cost
without any of the refitting or upgrades costs in it
mmmmm
it's very expensive to do that
looks like this is the eighth ever F16 crash
the F-35s are way more expensive
first was in 1975
mmm
$100mm-$120mm unit cost depending on what model
that that number is artificially deflated
oof
Can you dig it?
Yes I can.
convo I know the guy that flies the only civilian operated a/v-8b
what
it doesn't have that cannon
but he bought it out of a junkyard in england
whoah
