Its official designation is CF-188 (I got this from the Cost Factors Manual, a common reference used by the CF, DND and the Auditor General (the Canadian equivalent of the GAO) among others). It is now referred to as a CF-18, because if they use the correct designation, most of the media types stupidly go, "Hunh?" It's not called "Hornet" because that was different in French ("frelon") and already taken. http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/equip/equip1m_e.htm \ Thank you Sir, that is some excellent information. Just to grab onto this here. Is there a copy of the Cost Factors Manual available online? |

Doesn't look like it, but if you're a bona fide academic, you might ask for a copy -- but you might still have to pay for it. http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/cmo_mfc/pra....asp?bp_id=123 -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |
