| #2 At an estimated unit cost of $85 million ( 2018 buy, 2020 delivery) this POS will make the A-12 Dorito look like a passed up bargain ( $84 million in 1991) Still predicting this fiasco will either be canceled or early retirement as I cannot see how it will have any sort of reliability and/or maintainability, especially for the forward deployed arena. |

| #1 And this POS replaces the A10 for Close Air Support? USAF can keep the F35, but give the a10s to the Army, Army Aviation. |
