Canada bought a bunch of these this week.

They’ll eventually replace our geriatric fleet of CF-18 Hornets, which are twice as old as most of the folks who fly and maintain them. That’s the good news.

The not-so-good news is that taxpayers will not have the opportunity to take these new stealthy bad boys out for a spin.

Probably just as well.
