Canadian Air Force helps out

The Torch has a post about how the Canadian Air Force assisted the US Air Force when the US grounded some models of the F-15 fighter. Canadian CF-18s flew patrols over the Alaskan coast for two weeks in November.

One of the comments to the post is interesting as it points out how the grounding of the F-15 fleet highlights the problem of having only one type of aircraft in a particular role. This is similar to how, if you only grow one type of crop, you are very vulnerable to plant diseases.
