Sure, there are other aircraft that meet today’s needs, but what about tomorrow? One of the untold stories of the F-35 saga has been how opponents of the aircraft have come to urge Canada to switch from Lockheed Martin’s fifth-generation Lightning II to Boeing’s fourth generation F-18E/F Super Hornet. In the opinion of one bureaucrat at public works, the stealth campaign against the Joint Strike Fighter “has been brilliantly conceived and orchestrated” by Boeing, whose Super Hornet is based on technologies developed in the 1970s.
