You guys are correct:

The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today delivered the 79th - and final - upgraded CF-18 Hornet aircraft to the Canadian Department of National Defence during a ceremony in Mirabel, Quebec, hosted by industry partner L-3 Communications MAS, who performed final upgrade installations. The delivery brings the nine-year, two-phased CF-18 Modernization Project to a close.

Phase 1 of the project, completed in 2006, upgraded the Canadian Hornet fleet’s avionics, radar, radio and weapons capabilities. Phase 2 provided the following improvements:

• a data link system to ensure Canadian forces are interoperable with aircraft from the United States and other allied nations
• the Boeing Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System to improve weapons targeting
• new color cockpit displays to increase situational awareness
• an upgraded, chaff-and-flare dispensing electronic warfare system to improve survivability
