    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I was stationed there with 3 PPCLI from '75-'80 and I really enjoyed the downtown area. Except for the part in the evenings they rolled up the sidewalks after 2100 hrs.

But we will still buy a the F-35A and here I'm just WAGGING it at 54 F-35A. In compensation and here I "walk the plank" to keep the Americans happy...
