the costs of the devloppement of the Joint Strike Fighter are growing further 
for now the JSF wil cost 7 miljon $ more than planned, costing 45,2 miljon $ a piece
it's mostly because of the devloppement of the STOVL version and new software that makes the price rising
in my opinion, it's been a good dicision of the Belgian governement NOT to participate in the program, seeing how costs are getting verry hi ( a part the fact i don't like the plane
)
i'm stil hoping the Belgian gov wil choose the Grippen in some years to replace the F16's ( Rafale is my fav, but to expensive for Belgium i think, same for Eurofighter ).......... if they replace the F16's
