I saw this in wikipedia:
The original T-45A, which became operational in 1991, contained an analog cockpit design, while the newer T-45C, which was first delivered in December 1997, features a new digital "glass cockpit" design. All T-45A aircraft currently in operational use are upgraded to T-45C standard. The T-45 is to remain in service until 2035 or later.
​​​​​​​The American Navy still uses the T-45C Goshawk to train its jet pilots.
Some of those pilots go on to fly F-35 C or F-35B.
Will Canada perhaps send their pilots south to keep their fast jet training program going?
