The Conservatives have announced a plan to buy 65 F-35 stealth fighter-bombers for $9-billion, and estimate that support costs for the first 20 years will total another $5-billion to $6-billion. The Liberals, arguing costs are likely to balloon, have vowed that if they win government, they will put the purchase on hold to review whether such expensive aircraft are really needed.
