F-35 dirt cheap

[Velocity173]

Costs are going down and with a 20:1 kill ratio at Red Flag, what's not to like? You get an F-35! You get an F-35! Everyone gets an F-35!

I might be able to afford a 1 / 100,000 share. Who is in with me?

But, but, but, they are so cheap to operate.
I heard the guvmint man say so just today.

There's a quantity discount if you buy enough of them to get out of LRIP and into full rate production.

 

[RyanB]

At those prices, give me 3 of them.

They lose money on every one but make it up in volume!

They'll make it up in spare parts and tech support.

So, LLC or incorporation into a club and how do we handle the maintenance, fuel and hourly costs and scheduling. I think we also need to get every single US pilot in the club. I'm in! Hmm, forgot about checkout requirements for the insurance. Dang this is complicated.

No, but since it has LO features, the FAA won't be able to watch you anyway.

Basic med will work but you'll need a LOA to operate.
