Canada operates 78 CF-18s and has 65 CF-35s on order.
Canada bashing on FR gets real old, real fast.
I agree, the Canadians of all allies are usually the first to show up when the need arises. They definitely have what I call the Musketeer attitude. All For One and One For All!
I know what Canada has in its inventory.
I have thousands of hours of E-3 time flying with our Canadian NORAD brethren. Also have YEARS of ground time working with them.
It's not bashing. We (Canadian Forces and US) have a long history of joking with each other. Good-natured, joking, at that.
Hear hear!
