I did some research (I googled for two seconds and read one result) and according to Forbes, you can get a 787 Dreamliner for less than that. Or you could a couple years ago, at least.

Like others have said, military spec aircraft have lots of custom modifications that drive up the price.
Also, Boeing specifies the list price of the 787-8 at $224M.

Now obviously, no one pays list price because airlines buy in bulk. But these numbers are not unrealistic.
Planes are expensive, bro [emoji14]
