The B-2 on the other hand, well, that was secret but official. And had a ton of bureacracy because of it.

Avionic came from the F-16, F-15 and F/A-18 programs (unsourced claim, but very likely, those parts were purchased as spares for those aircraft).

Engines are modified are modified F404s drom GE.

That leaves the airframe, landing gear and some other bits and pieces like evironmental controls, but the avionics and engines account for the vast majority of aircraft costs.

I was really surprised by how small both are.

We finished the first big hangar and my said how cool it was and that we’d seen it and ut was time to go.

Then I told her about the other 2 (3?) hangars.

We got our 10k steps in before lunch, but it was amazing, and I’d go back any day.

Putting the kids in the flight sim was cool. I told them it wasn’t that bad then my daughter promptly flew it fully upside down and we heard the screams from inside. Mostly fun screams. They begged to ride it again. We did it a bunch. My daughter got competitive so we had to fly together to get the days high score.
