Raptor now only twice as expensive as Super Hornet.

I don't have a media reference for this one, because it hasn't been covered.

Just as the F/A-22 costs are getting under control the plane is being cut back.

By the Defence Department's budget for 2006, 4.1 billon dollars bought 22 F/A-22s in the 2004 budget while it only takes 3.7 billion dollars to buy 24 of them next year. That's only 153 million dollars each.
