They bought early mark F-18s - then decided to put Lucas Electrics-made avionics in them. Not joking.

A few years back, I saw video and pictures of one of them crashing while practicing for an air show. The Pilot ejected sideways about a second before it hit the ground. Another rocket on the ejection seat turned it upright and got a bit of height. The pilot ended up hurt, but not life threatening injuries.
