^ see what i mean?
this whole 'chuck norris is so great' deal does get rather old

Lighten up man...it's a joke.

 

[eddie]

It needs to be called, "Juggernaut," b!tch.

 

[zuggerat]

For some reason, and I dont know where I got this from, I thought they were going to call it the Vulture...

 

[Birdman]

Or Lamborgini, just to let everyone know it's one of the priciest fvcking planes out there.

There's a difference between expensive PROGRAM and FIGHTER.

 

[mo7stanley]

How much is an F-35 projected to cost?

 

[zuggerat]

60-70 mil each i believe

 

[whitesoxnation]

THE SHOCKER!

edit- dammit someone beat me to it.

 

[OneOddGuy]

Looks like we will soon find out the name of the F-35, I'm so giddy, I've fallen in love with the plane all over again. When I get back to Texas, I'm gonna have to take a trip to Dallas to see the facility

Can you actually tour the facility in Fort Worth? That seems a bit...off...

 

[raptor10]

Yeah,they actually have elementary students come and fly the sims! They say they shoot down the bad guys and everything!

 

[HeyJoe]

Viking or Hoover?

Isn't the plant in Fort Worth?
What's the official name of the S-3, I've only heard Viking?

Officially, it is the Viking, but to anyone in the air wing, it is the "Hoover"

Some of my favorite S-3 patches

If you ever sat in a Ready Room and had one taxi over your head, you'd know instantly why they are the "Hoover".

The F-35 is projected to cost around $85 million/ aircraft....whereas the F-22 is about $185 million per aircraft. .... I wonder how many superhornets that would buy?
