F/A-18 is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to dogfight and attack ground targets.
Canada was the first export customer for the Hornet, replacing the CF-104 Starfighter, the CF-101 Voodoo and the CF-116 Freedom Fighter. The Canadian Forces Air Command ordered 98 A models [CF-1 88A/CF-18A] and 40 B models [CF-188B/CF- l8B]. The original CF-18 as delivered is largely identical to the F/A-18A and B models.
In 1991, Canada committed 26 CF-18s to the Gulf War, based in Qatar. These aircraft primarily provided Combat Air Patrol duties, and later to perform air strikes on Iraqi ground targets. In 1999, 18 CF- 18s were deployed to Aviano AB, ltaly,where they participated in both the air-to-ground and air-to-air roles in the former Yugoslavia.
