Just want to head off any use of [https://web.archive.org/web/20230918135052/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/us/missing-f35-military-jet-charleston.html this article] for financial info on the F-35B.

"$72.1M (BY 2012)" in 2023 dollars would be closer to $100 million. [[User:GordonGlottal|GordonGlottal]] ([[User talk:GordonGlottal|talk]]) 21:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
