I do not think 2.7 billion for a blimp makes any sense. I think that is for the entire program and some number of blimps. Our military spending needs to be cut, but there is no way a blimp costs 2.7 billion....bad information.

You're correct.
You get two blimps at that price.
We must stay ahead of China in blimp technology!

The cost is for the entire program (so far) over 17 years. This latest incident will hopefully put an end to it. Now the Air Force is spending $55 billion on a new stealth bomber to go along with their grossly over-budget and under-performing F-35 variant.
Shiny objects for all......

Up to your usual standard of accuracy.

I believe in those BOGO's. I hardly ever buy anything at the supermarket anymore unless it's buy one get one free.

They shoulda got one of these at the mall for $49.98.
They could hang all their top secret gizmos on the side of it.
And if the top secret gizmos fall off it won't make much difference anyway because some teenager has probably already hacked into that and changed the password.
