so many were always under repair. It was
an excellent design but the front line
mechanics had no training in how to fix
such a complicated machine.

....much like the F-35...as the saying goes, "the more things change, the more
they stay the same"!

...."the cost per flying hour of the F-35A in the fiscal year ending last
September was $44,000 per hour."

....50 hours of maintenance per flight hour
