Very cool. I like the TrackIR invisible lookaround.

The F-35 will be replacing the Norwegian F-16's. No VTOL's though, not even a STOL, just the "regular" multirole ones but still. I'm excited!

[Rattler]

Canada announced today that we're buying 65 of them as well. I'm not sure about the types, but I'm certain they'll be non-VTOL.

[Streak]

It even has wonder woman view.

Canada needs long range maritime patrol aircraft and ships to patrol the North coast, not these.

No worries, the order will be quietly canceled next year or something like that. They always do.

Mandatory Canadian "If they hadn't cancelled the Arrrow..." post

P-S: on re-reading I should clarify that I don't mean to suggest that your post is and Arrow post.

Rather, that If I had the time I would post about how if the Arrow designed for exactly the role you describe hadn't been cancelled its successor designs might have been created and suited Canadian defence needs better than fighters designed for more densely populated countries.
