"What is the future of the CF-18 in the Canadian Forces?
In July 2010, the government announced it intended to order 65 new F-35 Lightning aircraft to replace the aging CF-18 fleet. The initial cost estimate was $9 billion but that has since ballooned to nearly $30 billion over 30 years, including maintenance. If the order goes through, the planes are scheduled to be ready by 2016."
30 billion / 33,739,900=889 CAD per person over the span of 30 years.= $30 CAD per person per year.:blink:
