chrish Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Are they A’s and B’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It's actually not the first delivery, the first two were delivered a year ago this month (Feb) and they went operational last June. The deal was supposed to be twelve "A's" and six "B's" but not sure what the final break down ended up being. Whitey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Don’t know whether it’s cause for celebration or for crying. Those jets are already obsolete. Bravo52, Neo and R Palimaka 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to buy the used Australian Hornets just meant that we were, once again, delaying finally choosing something new to replace our old CF-18s. Hopefully once we finally get something new in service, our CF-18s won't break the "longest-in-service" record of the USAF's B-52s.
