Dont the Canadians also make an F-18 variant?
Many countries including Canada and Switzerland, and I believe Australia, operate F/A-18's. But they haven't done co-production, just straight purchase.
Canada is the largest export user of the Hornet with over 120 odd 'CF-18' variants.The Hornet has never been license production,if im not mistaken .
The canadian F-18 isnt a super hornet and doesnt have AESA.
