According to Australia they are garbage.

Corrosion complaints

Australia's defence materiel group produced a scathing report in 2012 noting that the country's FA-18s were rapidly running out of airframe life and required bigger and bigger slices of the maintenance budget.

"The incidence of discovery of airframe corrosion in the Hornet fleet is increasing, and the annual cost of corrosion‐related repairs has increased significantly," said the report, which Layton said was considered "too critical" by the defence establishment.

That was nearly 6 years ago.



That's great. You're still claiming they don't have air-air missile capability are you?


Good, good, keep on keeping on.


I'll stick with my college classmate who flies F18s for a living, thanks.

Canada buys another generation of fighters with aircraft carrier capability.

Canada has no aircraft carrier.

And that's how smart we are.

What? Our fighters are going to have tail hooks?

No way, Jose.
