Cost Over Run On CSA Points To AF Slipups
GAO says Air Force reports on the C5A failed to reflect a rising cost path. With 115 aircraft from Lockheed at 5.2 billion, eventual costs exceed original estimates by about 1.8 billion and contract targets by over 2 billion. The finding notes earlier warnings in 1967 and a May 1968 study showing ceiling exceedance. The report to the House Armed Services Committee cites missed inclusions and early cost projections that would have signaled the overrun.
