That is soooo cool! Actually, can anyone tell me the difference in the US FA-18 and the CF-18? I wonder if we can include some of the Canadian AF in our Falcon coops?

I think most of Canada's F/A-18s are F/A-18A's. They may have some C-models, though, I'm not sure. Also, they tend to have that black painted "canopy" on the underside of the plane. So if you're in a dogfight, the enemy pilot may mistake that canopy for the real one, and make a bad move.
