I'm happy to see this - after the F35 debacle (even if it turns out "ok", it's WAY late, and WAY over budget/price), I don't feel that LockheedMartin deserves the chance to screw up another procurement.

A lot more info leaking out today, but still no pics or firm details really.

The aircraft will supposedly cost $564 million per unit in 2010 dollars.

Considering the B-2 was $2.1 billion in 1997 dollars with all costs involved, that's a bargain.
