Just after the A-10, the Eurofighter is my second favourite airplane. I still think the Canadian government should update our fleet with these. Those CF-18's won't last forever.

I agree. Too bad it's not an objective decision. Lots of political factors are at play.

On another note, Holy Crap that's close!

A-10 is in my top 3 for sure. I was lucky enough to see one flying two years ago at Seattle Boeing Airshow.

too bad the guy didnt clean the spots off his camera sensor

Yeah, if it's just on what we need, Eurofighter has it. It has range, speed, and the most important factor, it does really well in the arctic. Whereas the F-35 doesn't have range, it has stealth over speed, but the thing loses that in adverse weather conditions. Sure they'll be "stealth fighters," but we'll be paying to reapply that stuff every winter/spring.
