Thank you for that question.
I was just a little whippersnapper back then, Mr. Hawn. I remember being part of the legacy fleet, looking at the F-18 with a mixture of jealousy, I guess, and a bit of envy. Of course, the F-18, like any new capability, had its share of introductory problems. We had fatigue cracks that came out and that had to be dealt with. The fact is that the partnership between Canadian industry and the company and the U.S. navy solved that.
The point is that any new technology will have its challenges. The fact is that if it's the right product, in the end you'll get the service you need from it. I think this is where we're confident that the F-35 will be much like the F-18's introduction. It will have some initial teething problems, but I have no doubt that this platform will deliver on its base expectations.
