US Approves Sale of F/A-18 Super Hornets to Canada

The US State Department has approved the sale of up to 18 F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft to Canada. The total worth of the agreement could be over $5 billion dollars.

Talk about a cool paint job!

The proposed deal includes 10 F/A-18E and eight F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft as well as supporting equipment and armaments for both sets of jets.

“Canada is reviewing current military procurement that relates to Boeing,” Trudeau’s office said in a statement last week following a call between the Canadian prime minister and the governor of Missouri, where F/A-18s are manufactured. – CNN Politics

Apparently, Canada has ‘issues’ with Boeing lately concerning their trade actions against Canadian aerospace companies. At one point Lockheed Martin was hoping to sell F-35 aircraft to Canada.
