  Yadda-yadda-yadda... First, this is already the subject of another 
current 
  thread in this NG. Second, if the GAO is claiming that the cost of 
turning 
  the F-22 into the F/A-22 is $11.7 billion, then the GAO is lying, as 
their 
  own report indicates that the $11.7 billion is actually for *all* spiral 
  development costs related to the F/A-22, to include future upgrades of 
the 
  air-to-air and ISR capabilities. Thirdly, why do you persist in posting 
  nothing but excerpts of press reports/releases? You are beginning to 
sound 
  like the infamous "Otis Willie"... 
 
 Yes you are correct. 
 
 It's also to fix the software so that it runs for at least five hours 
 every once in a while before crashing. 
 
Zzzzz...oops, excuse me; were you offering something of relevance to the 
discussion at hand, Henry? No? Figures. You really need to get back to 
untangling that whole construction of your's that has Okinawa being a day's 
flight away from Taiwan, and how the Su-30 is only a potential threat if it 
is being operated by PLAAF or Russian pilots; you don't have time for 
side-discussions. Back to the grindstone, Henry!
