I don't know anything about helicopters, but doesn't $265M each sound like a lot?!?!

To keep this in perspective.
When Slick Willie went to China, my son was part of the support team. As I recall, there were something like 15 C5 loads of shittage that went with him. Cost (just for the AF) was something over $150M. The cost of the choppers don't bother me. The fact that the airframes are gonna be made in Europe *really* pisses me off. |
