I'm kind of against the F35 program, I just don't think enough discussion has gone on to determine what is best for Canada's very diverse needs. And its very costly. However I do recognize the need for a new fleet of fighter jets. My question is, has making our own fighter been discussed?
Why not!? We have a rich aviation history, we once made the worlds best fighter jet, we can ensure that the money spent employs many more people here at home, and we could build it to better suit our needs. It could also be a great source of pride.
It would be daunting, but a small country like Sweden was able to make the JAS Gripen and it suits their needs better then any other AC. And of course it would be costly, but so are the F35's.
Just a thought
