Oh, I realize that. But I'm on a bit of a fact finding mission, for a very good reason. I won't get into any details, but I will say that I'm doing some research for the benefit of....somebody....who just MIGHT be able to afford such a toy. He's VERY rich and what's better, we know where there IS an F-16 in private hands that IS a candidate for restoration to flightworthy condition.
Besides, I have a good feeling about my lottery tickets! 
So Elvis is alive!!!  |

| According to TAC ATTACK, an old internal publication of the Air Force, the F-16 requires 1/2 the number of maintainers of an F-4. However, you must consider the following, how about in addition to the mechs who work on the aircraft directly, the fuel truck drivers, the AGE equipment operators, the administrative personnel, the food service personnel who prepare chow for the troops, the medical personnel, CBPO, (if they still exist), and security, the manpower needs of maintenance people required to maintain the aircraft and $$$ are staggering. Everyone gets involved in generating a sortie, and as far as $$$ is concerned, consider fuel and other consumables as well. Alot of manpower and money. |
