Dudley,

Why Hawks and not Hornets?

The CAF puts on a great solo demo in the F/A-18...why not work the
Snows into "bugs?"

Cost most of all, and location. I haven't heard much mentioned about the Bug
which is in use at Clod Lake and Bagotville, but the Hawk has been kicked
around quite a lot by the guys back channel.
Also, the Hawk is already in use at Moosejaw on Phase 3 pilot training
prior to fighter lead- in transitioning into the CF18 at Cold Lake. The Hawk
is the natural choice if indeed there will be a choice.
