Lt. Robinson is low-key about piloting the $130 million aircraft,
which cost more than $360 million each to produce when research and
development are added.

That's funny. You can have it for $130M... but if you want the R&D, that'll
cost you $360M. As if you can really separate the two costs!

As far as I'm concerned, it's a $360M jet. By the way, did anyone else
notice that the $256B F-35 was not given the same courtesy?
