Hi 2495, thanks for the info. I appreciate you taking the time to look this up. Given the cost of inflation, the planes in 2009 dollars would be close to $750 million each. This is still a huge cost for a single airframe, in my opinion.

And I read your UAV info with great interest -- thanks for the info on that.

"According to Air Force calculations, each bomber will cost $516 million"

That was for 132 bombers, allowing for inflation. The links old but valid.
