They will! Canada's defense policy is something like this: "If we are not
at war, let 'em keep using old stuff until it falls apart at the seams." If
you have served any amount of time in the CAF, a lot of people will tell you
the same thing... Been there and done that!

Then again, who am I to complain. they may have changed their minds
(Canadian Government, that is). It has been a long time since I wore the
uniform of Canadia. As a matter of fact, there is no SNOW where I now live.

Enjoy

You are right! $$ rules! Canada, I believe has only two to three
operational squadrons of CF-18s. Another for Training new pilots. the
rest are spar parts, or if you wish, spares. Just the same, they will be
buying new planes. They have to. No way getting around it.

Isn't that stupid? We mothball our best aircraft and cut flying time and
training time. I hope they don't do the same thing with the F-35 once it
gets here.
