Indeed, Courtney. Even using the -B model AAR system in the -A would require extensive design work, plus a number of clearance flights due to the different aerodynamics of the -A and -B......

The cost of which would undoubtedly be dumped on Canada.

Nope. Rafale would be a much better and more cost-effective solution. Neither would it require those outrageously expensive $600K helmets, presumably tailored for each F-35A pilot...
