Triste noticia, se estrella un piloto Canadiense entrenando en su CF/A-18.

Adicionalmente, tal parece que el actual primer ministro de Canada va a salir a comprar muchos mas aviones de los previstos originalmente.

Canada to kill Boeing Super Hornet deal

WASHINGTON — The Canadian government is poised to walk away from a deal with Boeing to buy 18 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet jets, a major blow for the future of the Boeing jet.

Canada’s Liberal government will announce next week plans to proceed with an interim buy of used F/A-18 Hornets from Australia, dashing Boeing’s hopes of a Super Hornet sale, three sources familiar with the situation told Reuters, according to a Dec. 5 report.

Canada intended to buy new Super Hornet aircraft to bridge the gap between its aging CF-18 Hornet fleet and a new fighter jet. However, after Boeing lodged a legal complaint accusing Canadian aerospace firm Bombardier of dumping commercial planes on the U.S. market, Canadian government officials — including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — put a hold on the purchase and began looking at other options.

[...]

Continued tensions between Canada and Boeing shot a hole through that vision, bolstering not only the chances of Lockheed’s F-35, but also the Eurofighter Typhoon, Saab Gripen E and Dassault Rafale.

Saludable que la lógica haya prevalecido -aunque del gobierno de Trudeau uno no debería esperar mucho-. Esa compra (adquirir 18 aviones nuevos a modo de stop gap, cuando en el 2019 está programado un concurso de cazas) era una pésima idea.
