West Coast

It’s a boom or drogue tanker vs your F35 variant of choice issue. CF18s use drogue and Canada have ordered F35A which doesn’t.

Hornet Replacement

I wonder if recent events will cause Justin to pull his finger out and make a decision?

Might we infer from your sales pitch that you are French per chance?

I love your blue-sky thinking but I think we’ll agree to disagree on its’ likelihood.

Even Justin would struggle to put a positive spin on that plan.

Buying 20 Gripens is not a case of kicking the can down the road. It would effectively be stomping on the can and throwing it on the bin.

Firstly an interim bit of new aircraft would take up all...

Have you read the rest of the thread? The competition is literally down to F35 and Gripen. Everybody else has withdrawn. So it is not a 20% chance of guessing correctly anymore.

I would say the...

NFTC

On a separate, but related, note. Has anyone heard any rumblings about how Canada plan to replace or extend the NFTC programme?

They’re kind of running out of time on that as well.

Oh (dear) Canada.

After all this time it comes down to two completely different aircraft. Both of which are single engined (please re-read the thread for why I bring that point up again).

As I have said before,...

I will admit that I haven’t been keeping up to date on the RCAF fighter issue and I am too lazy to read back through the thread. However, I believe I am right in saying that, due to a prior dispute,...

Are you, or were you ever a, FJ pilot?

I would love to watch you try and convince every FJ pilot that ever lived that they would have been better off without drop tanks.

I think we could all...

Where exactly did I say what you have insinuated?

I’m quite aware of each jets characteristics and history. I shan’t repeat what I said previously. May I politely suggest you re-read it instead?

I’m not in Canada any more so I can’t quote them chapter and verse.

It depends on aircraft type and mission. A Hawk on a training mission and a Hornet on a live scramble will have subtly different...

I’m not sure why anyone who doesn’t own a carrier would buy F35C?!

Most RCAF FJ pilots I know expect and want F35 (A model specifically).

I’m not saying it’s what they need or indeed should...

Single engine vs twin engine

Right now I especially love Canada because they enable me to feel a little less irked by our own (UK) procurement...
