F-22 to cost Japan $250 million per plane
U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye, who heads the Senate Appropriations Committee, sent a letter to the Japanese ambassador suggesting that it would cost Japan as much as $250 million per plane to buy the F-22.

The price includes the cost of creating an export version of the jet. This assumes production would begin in four to five years, with deliveries in seven to nine years, according to two sources familiar with the letter.
