Possibly, but building the infrastructure and assembly lines to build planes is going to cost a small fortune, It would be basically starting from scratch, and likely done by Bombardier and we see how great they are in terms of on time and on budget.

There would also still be the cost of setting up the logistics and spare parts and servicing of the planes.

I think that the 244 million per copy for a limited production run of 65 would be fairly close to the marker. and exchange is kind of relevant except that I converted both of the planes to US Dollars (Rafale and F-35).

To me the idea of us building our own for a run of 65 craft for example makes no sense.

I doubt that the French are going to let us keep building and selling the rafale.
