OK Oleary...
Educate me:
1. Tell me then, what's the plan for 9 years from now -- when the current batch of (70 odd) CF-18s (A's and B's) are eventually retired.
2. More importantly, tell me why you think the current batch of CF-18s are suitable -- now, and from now until 2025 -- to fulfill our NATO requirements and/or defend our airspace?
Stop banging your head against the wall and talk to somebody who knows what the requirements are for "2" above. And then talk to the folks who fly, maintain and task our current batch of CF-18s.
