Sintra Highlight
Unlike previous years they´ve censored the projected “Unit Fly Away” and “Unit Wpn Systems” costs after 2010!
For what? :confused:

Quite interestingly the “Fly Away Unit Cost” and the “Unit Wpn Systems” for 2009 and 2010 has climbed quite a bit, but the 2007 and 2008 are presented with smaller numbers!

2º F-22 Raptor

There´s no money asked for 2010, except 95.163$ million for suport operations (page 55)! I was expecting money for another four Raptors somewhere in that document!

3º C-17A and C-130J
http://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-090511-090.pdf
(page 69 and 79)

The end of the line for the C-17A, only 88.150$ million for “suport operations” in FY2010. For the C-130J it´s not a much brighter outlook, from 35 airframes in FY2008 to only three in FY2010.

4º MQ9 Reaper
(page 217)

24 Airframes for FY2010, nice, very nice.
Total Program Cost for FY2010, 489.469$ millions.
