What if... You could ask Santa for Canada's next fighter?
For those of you who responded with concern to last week's question about possibly buying the Chinese J-31: No, I am not experimenting with any recreational pharmaceuticals (any more than usual). The majority of you (71%) think I am possibly off my rocker for suggesting Canada would ever consider non-NATO hardware. You are probably right. Still, the point of these "What ifs" is to promote blue-sky thinking without limits. Since we are approaching the holiday season, this week's question lets you write a letter to Santa. What kind of fighter would you like to see under the RCAF's tree this year? Do not be shy. Want a resurrected and modernized Arrow? Ask away. Should the elves start building the F-22 again? How about the YF-23? Lots of kids seem to be wishing for that one! Maybe just a "Canadianized" F-35 that works (and costs) as it should? Carriers? Something else? Please comment below.
