In the CF-18 the Afterburner is on or not and the pilots aren't allowed to light them very often, especially over populated areas.
My apology's, I was drunk as a skunk last night, didn't get layed and got ripped off by the cab driver who took me home.

My bad too...the CF-18's don't yet have the newer F404-GE-402 engines with multi-stage burners. Not sure if they are scheduled to get those as a part of their modernization projects.
