@mattyboy59 Matty, that's a lunatic view of what acounting is all about. Book value and depreciation calculations are only even faintly relevant to assets held for the purpose of "making" "money", i.e. economic acitivites. These might be useful if this plane were used in runing an airline and would have had to be replaced when it wore out. None of this is true of military applications.

@robertw1800 "Thats not how military hardware works. Especially when it's upgraded throughout the decades." Yup. Matty Boy has managed to miss both the accounting and the physical meanings of the plane! A twofer!
