The 2016 Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 Demo aircraft design was developed by the 410 TF (Operational Training) Squadron’s graphic artist Jim Belliveau. The scheme represents the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The yellow represents the training aircraft, black is for the dark times of war and the red is for flames against the darkness. The BCATP ran from 1939-1945 and was carried out in more than one hundred communities across Canada; training 131,553 aircrew. The aircraft will be piloted by Captain Ryan “Roid” Kean.
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a supersonic, twin-engine, all-weather fighter and attack aircraft flown by the US Navy, US Marine Corps and other allied nations. The F/A-18 was first flown on November 18, 1978 with the first production flight taking place on April 12, 1980. The first 380 F/A-18s were the A version and in September 1987 production switched to the F/A-18C. Variants A and C are single-seat while B and D variants are tandem-seats. The Hornet can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases and have the capability of in-flight refueling. A total of 1,480 A-D variants were built.
