On January 7 1991, Defense Secretary Richard Cheney terminated a S4 8 billion contract for the A-12 Avenger aircraft, the Navy's top aviation priority. At that time, the aircraft was at least S1 billion over budget, 8,000 pounds overweight, and 18 months behind schedule (Montgomery 44). Nearly S3 billion had been spent on the program and not one aircraft was ever built. Originally projected to cost $57 billion for 620 aircraft, the A-12 was the largest weapons contract cancellation in the history of the Pentagon (Rosenberg 7).
