RagMan Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 sh*t, that's how everything was priced in the military. A simple bolt for our aircraft (which you could go down to the hardware store and find for probably $4, at least for a damn good one) would cost a couple hundred dollars from military suppliers. Biggest rip of sh*t ever. I believe Boeing got into trouble for selling extremely overpriced Ch-47 parts to the Army within this last year or two years.
