65 F-35's at about 75 million each claims Peter Mac Kay       (defense/offense minister).
Experts in the USA now say that the cheapest model of those sold to their own air force will be about 111 million each, and that is only the sticker price and does not include maintenance. By law American companies can not sell arms below the domestic cost so someone is lying through their teeth on this! Peter is no doubt willing to put that in writing, on a napkin I suppose. We have little or no use for this plane and should not even be considering its purchase at any price! Much better to buy some decent search and rescue planes and choppers. A stealth fighter is not worth a pinch of shit to us! No contract has been signed or no tender issued for this high speed piece of junk yet, so Peter and Steevie "STUFF IT WHERE THE SUN WON'T SHINE!"
