Wikipedia seems to have the unit cost for a F-35 at a hundred million dollars.

While I cannot find a number on the construction cost it seems that just running the observatory originally cost around ten million a year. So even if one F-35 was enough to finance a rebuild you would have to drop in a second to keep it running for just a few years.
