What does the cost of a flight hour consist of?

The F-22 has a full life of 8000 hours, the cost of the machine for the US Air Force is 168 million. $

thus, an hour of resource costs 168 million $ : 8000 h = 21000 $

fuel cost in the USA in April 7.5 $ / gallon or 1.98 $/ kg

fuel consumption 3600 kg / h   3600 kg * 1.98 $/kg ~ 7000 $/h

$21,000 (resource) + $7000 (fuel) = $28,000$

68,362 left - $ 28,000 = $ 40,362

What can be included here? pilot's salary, technicians' salary, maintenance...
