No 4. P-8A Poseidon: $290 million
Boeing’s spruced-up military version of its 737 jet will be used by the Navy to conduct anti-submarine warfare and gather intelligence. It can carry torpedoes, missiles, depth charges and other weapons. The P-8A is expected to go into service in 2013.
No 3. C17A Globemaster III: $328 million
The Air Force military-transport plane is used to move troops into war zones, perform medical evacuations and conduct airdrop missions. There are 190 C17As in service; the aircraft is propelled by four turbofan engines (of the same type used on the twin-engine Boeing 757) and can drop 102 paratroopers at once. In operation since 1993, it has been used to deliver troops and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Left out the E-3 which was the most expensive aircraft until it was passed by the B-2.
why these people spend a hell lot on these planes, why not move forward for humanity
Nice article and some cool and pricey planes here for sure! I remember hearing somewhere that the B2 Spirit would have been “cheaper to build in solid gold” after all the R&D, development and production costs. At $2.4 billion I can see why! I didn’t realise the Raptor was as much as $350 million though? Thought it was more in the $122 million range? Not that that’s cheap of course!
Wow! great collection, i have never seen, thanks for sharing with us…:)
