About that F-15X buy and the F-35 cut....

So @LockheedMartin has been promising that #F35 unit cost will soon drop to $80m, and Boeing prices new F-15EX at $80m each w/o R&D costs.
Now, @usairforce is cutting its FY2020 buy of F-35s by 8 a/c to buy 8 F-15EX.
What message does that send? https://t.co/Fk9icjaPYz

Wow.  Have to chew on this one.  There is more going on in F-35 land than EVEN I imagined.

I expect some shoes to drop.  Obviously there is some type of revelation that we haven't yet been told.  I won't even speculate because this is as they say..."following the money"!!!
