The only way that really happens if we decide to do a mass Canadianization of a Eurofighter or other jet, which might have to happen.
With the F-35 because we were involved in the development of the plane that had already taken place and would continue for the full life time of the plane.
I doubt that the European manfucturers would extend the same courtesy, the maintenance and logistical arm would be about the same, however I would think that parting would be more expensive because of shipping costs and currency differences.
