You stupid 14 year old. Go to CFB Cold Lake, and go tell an F-18 pilot he sucks, to his face. You don't know anything. Do you have ANY idea what it takes to become a fighter pilot? You are barely old enough to flip burgers, you play halo all day long, how can you know how good our pilots are.

yea he is right but canada trains with the us in red flag though they train under us as a matter of fact all nato forces train under us but dont ever disrespect canada

[Intense951]

Canada has higher training standards than any UN nation.

So sexy

[strikeeagle345]

@slip180 U.S.has the same standards.

True, but what makes more differrence is the pilot, and because canada doesn't have many aircrafts, the pilots who fly them are probably comparable to the US Navy pilots.

So you assume then that the adversary will look down at it, against an ocean backround? Hmmmm.  I would prefer a neutral paint, when fights are equal of similar altitude or if adversay is having to look up? That's just me.

They are painted that way to be hard to see from the air, not the ground...its a Navy/Marine fighter...that means it flies over water alot!!
