OUCH!!! 20 Billion Dollars!!!

For an aircraft that can't cope with the mission it was designed for, and yet to enter active service after so many years of work on it.

I'm sure it could have bought a lot of new, better equiped heicopters.

This aircraft was a problem from the start and has crashed numerous times. I had thought and hoped it was scrapped. Oh well, I hope some more of the boys do not suffer a crash.
