Confirmed today, new F-35's coming to Canada.

Super Hornets would have been cheaper, they aren't a true 5th generation fighter but really do we need cutting edge?

I also heard that exported F-35's are going to lack the stealth paint and other things vs. the US versions. Anyone know any good info on that?
