RCAF CF-18 Tactical Demonstration

A staple on the Canadian air show scene since 1983, this year’s CF-18 Hornet tactical demonstration will showcase the high level of skill, professionalism and teamwork inherent to the members of the RCAF, inspiring future members of the RCAF and highlight the capabilities of Canada’s longest serving frontline fighter. The CF-188 Hornet, commonly called the CF-18, is a multi-role fighter aircraft. It is used for air defence, air superiority, ground attack, tactical support, training, aerobatic demonstration, and aerospace testing and evaluation. The Hornet is a fast, light and manoeuvrable aircraft. Because of its power, speed and target-tracking capabilities, it has had great success in many military operations in Canada and around the world.
