Too bad you can’t buy anything American. You should get some of these

There is so much more to the acquisition than the airframe.

The logistic train that comes with it, or I should say needs to come with it.

Stupid tiny things like tooling, ground support equipment.
Now lest talk avionics: do the used Gripen’s have link16? What about training footprints. Gonky mentioned an RCAF exchange to a previous squadron.
The Five-eye countries have an advantage when it comes to exchanges. Perhaps a trip to lakenheath
for the cold lake boys (and girls. I’m not sexist)

Extremely short sided political move to play Jean Cretien games.

Just wait for the next Chinese balloon to come over, or a rogue 172 aerial attacking YVR. We’ll bail you out once again. Like we always seem to do.

…perhaps we can get a package deal on some new airplanes along with those ferries BC is getting….
