There's a lot to see. Gears to digital to a circuit board. Is that the RCAF tartan (Is that a thing?) on the underside?

Well that’s about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while

Very attractive!

I like the Tartan, they should do a whole plane in tartan! That would be quite the challenging paint scheme!!

The CF188 has been out there with the Snowbirds for the last week as they polish their routines before the first official show of the season in Comox this weekend. Before that he was punching holes in the sky over the airfield here.

Happy Birthday RCAF! I may overcome my disdain for the F/A-18 if the aftermarket makes a decal sheet for this in 1/72 scale. I don't know about that plaid flannel false canopy. Does that keep something essential warm in chilly Canadian temps? Asking for a friend.

There’s only one way to find out, but you'll have to buy a few drinks first.

I'm your huckleberry. Buying drinks. That's just my game.
