Flying at a clip of 1,200mph (1931 kmh), the Super Hornet provides nearly all the capabilities of the F-35, its ready today, and at a fraction of the cost. In the face of continued extortion efforts by Lockheed Martin to force the Canadian government to purchase the defective F-35 Lightning fighter jet at a staggering cost of nearly $200 million per unit, Ottawa appears intent on procuring Boeing’s F/A 18E Super Hornet to replace the air force’s aging CF-18 fighter fleet citing lower costs, earlier availability, and higher performance. © AP Photo/ Airman Magazine Lockheed Threatens Canada, Again: Will Cut 10k Jobs if Ottawa Discards F-35 Lockheed...
