   Comparing aircraft statistics reveals that
the Avro Arrow (were it still around) would  have
been able to outfly the CF-18 Hornet and still have 
thrust to spare.
    This is just an idle dream but does anybody think
that Canada will be able to design and build its own
all-weather fighter ever again (instead of having to
scounge around for a machine which most suits the needs
of the CAF)?
    I have this theory that if this were possible, an
aircraft designed to be able to stand up to the rigours of Canada
would be much better than any product from the south. This
then might prove marketable thus providing a decent defence
and a good number of jobs. This might also stem some of 
the southbound brain drain.
   Like I said, just an idle dream.
