Total damage to the airplane, according to sources inside the Pentagon:
$1.28 million. Not only did the firefighters ruin the canopy, which
cost $286,000, they also scuffed the coating on the airplane's skin
which will cost about $1 million to replace.


$1 million to touch-up some scuffed paint?

What's the number of that waste, fraud, and abuse hotline?
