> That's my criticism of the F-35 as well. I don't know anything about fighter planes, but as a taxpayer it just seems way to expensive.

Not just expensive, that money is going to the US. We (the Netherlands) will also buy a bunch of F35's, but we can't afford enough of them to be useful. We could have bought Eurofighters, the money would have remained in Europe's economy and we would have an actually finished plane.




From what I read in this thread, Denmark and Belgium also bought about 30-40 each. Those numbers start to add up.
