If you want to appreciate the subtle differences between Americans and Canadians consider this analogy...Americans think they are Superman; Canadians think they are Clark Kent. And that anthem singing has happened before...

Canadians say washroom. We say toilet, bathroom, dump-a-torium.

I know we've all rocked out to some of these folks...great groups from the 60's to current,................. do they even have fighter jets :grinser010:....Class act what they pulled off

We use them all here in BC....

Five man Electrical band should be right near the top and yes we have F-18s

But are they the newer super hornets?

I've learned that even tho our allies have some of our same aircraft, they really aren't the "SAME" if you know what I mean. Hey it only makes sense right.

They are very outdated. Most are from the early 80's.

We did upgrade the communications and radar on our F18's in the early 2000's.

Up till 1982 Canada was still flying the F100. Even in the 70's this plane was very outdated. Canada tried making a deal with Iran to buy the F14's America sold them in the early 70's. Iran backed out of the deal when it discovered Canada's smuggling Americans out of Iran during the hostage crisis. The U.S. decided they wanted 100% control over the F14, so no spare parts could go to Iran. So we cut a deal for the F18 instead. If we did get the Iranian F14's and ordered a few more. Canada would be still flying them instead of the F18.

Wow, that's crazy, and the F14 would still be alive

Yep. I think the U.S. wanted the Iranian F14's back and was behind Canada buying them. If the deal went through we'd still be using them.
