Canada, you hosers! F-35 too expensive, eh!
Bob and Doug McKenzie spent too much money on strange brew in the 1980s and 1990s and now they can't afford the defective and always grounded F-35 so they are extending their F-18 (CF-18) Hornets until about 2025.

I'm still in awe of the F-18. It's mind blowing how many are in storage in the boneyard here. I think they are A models that never got the upgrade. They aren't shrink wrapped. They have body conformed cloth covers like the classic cars.

Mark, I have been too busy working 11 hour days and I'm in the process of moving from one home to another. I wanted to thank you for your recent endorsement! Thank you very much!

My best-eat-est encounter with the F-18 was when I was OPFOR at NTC. We were moving thru OPFOR Cut and working our way down the steep reverse slope. Our Marine aviators flew over us so close that our radio antennas whipped back and forth and I swear the pilot had spinach in his teeth.

Great planes and I don't understand why we have them in storage. Good move by Canada!
