The CF-18 was bought primarily because of the cold and the icy runways and the short runways you have, I assume, and the ability to use a tailhook. It has common characteristics with the navy for those reasons, and it is what we term a fourth-generation airplane.
We happened to build one of those, called the F-16, and it competes with the newer version of the F-18 around the world. The F-18C is built more on the principles of superior aerodynamics and less on the principles of superior avionics.
Today's airplanes have equivalent performance. In other words, from an aeronautical perspective, we can fly as fast and pull as many Gs, but the difference is that we're a stealthy airplane, and when you put weapons inside the airplane, we maintain those same performance characteristics with a combat load. If you take an F-18 or a CF-18 and you put a combat load on it, it loses much of that performance capability. That is one advantage.
