Its official designation is CF-188 (I got this from the Cost Factors Manual, a common reference used by the CF, DND and the Auditor General (the Canadian equivalent of the GAO) among others). It is now referred to as a CF-18, because if they use the correct designation, most of the media types stupidly go, "Hunh?" It's not called "Hornet" because that was different in French ("frelon") and already taken. http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/equip/equip1m_e.htm \ Thank you Sir, that is some excellent information. Just to grab onto this here. Is there a copy of the Cost Factors Manual available online?
