This is the F-22.

"The fighter was on a test mission when it crashed about 35 miles northeast of Edwards AFB, where it was stationed, the Air Force said in a news release.

"At $150 million apiece, the F-22A is the most expensive Air Force fighter."

And this is a B-2.

"Military panel to probe B-2 crash." Updated 2/23/2008 6:50 PM

""The cost of each air vehicle averaged US$737 million per plane in 1997 dollars.[3] Total procurement costs averaged US$929 million per plane, which includes spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support. The total program cost, which includes development, engineering and testing, averaged US$2.1 billion per aircraft in 1997 dollars."

    - The costs are due to Businesscrooks in Action. - David F Mayer - 3/26/2009 12:42:22 PM
