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

The jets that RCAF flew at the time of the competition were century series and the experience with them was probably one of the drivers. At that time the brass no doubt lacked a complete understanding of the leap in technology inherent in the new teen series.

…buuuut, knew enough to know they wanted an F-15 instead of an F-16?

The only aircraft I’ve flown that had an engine fail on me was a twin-engine, go figure.
