USAF spending $4 million daily on Libya war
2011-04-06
WASHINGTON – The Air Force secretary says the service has been spending about $4 million a day to keep 50 fighter jets and nearly 40 support aircraft in the Libya conflict, including the cost of munitions.
We could just post a bounty for Gaddafi's head, connected or not as Jerry Pournelle points out, and end up saving a lot of money.
Secretary Michael Donley tells reporters that the Air Force has spent $75 million as of Tuesday morning on the war. He says the U.S. decision to end its combat strike role in the conflict will cut costs, but he could not say by how much.

The total U.S. costs for the Libya air campaign as of March 28 were $550 million, not counting normal deployment spending.
