Canada recently won the dispute against airplane dumping from Bombardier that Boeing aircraft and Embraer accused Canada of. Canada was supposed to by about a dozen F-18 Super Hornets as an interim fighter since they decided not to get the overpriced F-35. They're supposed to have a contest or shootout in the future to determine the best candidate to replace the Aging F-18 Alpha and bravo models held together with J-B Weld and rivets. LOL

Probably a smart move. F35 will never live up to the hype.

You had also commented in my earlier story. This was before Canada spited us and decided to back out of the deal.

U.S. State Dept. approves Canadian purchase of Super Hornet fighter jets | RallyPoint
The U.S. State Department has given the green light for Canada to buy 18 Boeing Super Hornet fighter jets for an estimated price tag of $6.3 billion. F18 Super Hornet deal is still up in the air while Boeing and Embraer complain, in a trade lawsuit , that Canada's Bombardier gets unfair subsidies from the Canadian Government.
