The U.S. Air Force has agreed to buy 22 more F/A-22 fighter jets from
Lockheed Martin Corp. for less than $110 million per plane, Air Force
acquisition chief Marvin Sambur told Reuters on Tuesday.

Looks like I was wrong and they've managed to get the F/A-22 costs under
control after all.

Yes, it's less than 2.5 times more pricy than next most expensive fighter...

I hope Carlo Kopp reads this. He ensured me that there is absolutely no
reason to think that F-22 will cost more than $70M, and export version is
likely to be much cheaper.
