Is not the CF-118 an F/A-18??

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.

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.

Arrr, they be "Scots" not "Scottsmen" and it's not their language.
