$2B contract for Hog's re-winging (again)

According to this February 2007 DOD Budget Document (see page 148 below), the wing replacement should cost $1.241B (FY07 - FY13) for 183 wings, which means a unit cost of $6.8 million.

The total value of the June 29, 2007 contract is $2.015B for 242 wings plus Engineering Services. Unless the cost of the wings changed dramatically since February 2007, this $2.015B contract can therefore be further split between :

* wings : $1,640 million (242 wings @ $6.8 million each)
* engineering services : $375 million

Lockheed Martin (which was competing against Boeing for this contract) must be very upset.
