Price of the 2nd Dutch F-35 known!

GvG sent me this link and information from the Dutch Ministry of Defense regarding the quoted price of the F-35 test airplane (absolutely awesome GvG...thanks).

By letter dated February 29, 2008 Parliament received confidential information on the estimates of the price of the second F-35 test plane including engine, which was € 91.7 million (2007 prices).

The now agreed target price of the unit including the engine is € 91.2 million (2007 prices,  plan-dollar $ 1.00 = € 0.83). In 2010 price level this amount is equivalent to € 99.2 million.

The ceiling price of the unit without motor is 6 percent above the target price, but the ceiling price of the engine is not yet known..Translated by GvG.

Read the whole thing here..its in pdf form...but despite what you hear from the critics and naysayers...this program is not only on track but meeting cost expectations.
