    The CF-18 (or officially designated as CF-188) is just the Canadian variant of the F-18. These are quite old jets now, but still loud and exhilarating. There's much talk going on about their replacement with the two new jet types currently in consideration by the Canadian federal government: Saab Gripen and F-35. The Canadian government disqualified the Super Hornet to replace them because Boeing tried to block the Bombardier CS300 (later bought out by Airbus and rebranded as the A220) from entering the market.
