Canadian fighter jets temporarily fill in for U.S. air defences

..Brothers will always stick up for each other.

The second bell rang for the F-15. First it gets served by Indian MKIs, now grounded due to safety concerns.

Didn't know Americans and Canadians were brothers, but thanks anyway.

You were created by the British, we were created by the British. Unless you are trying to say that you want to be Canada's sister...

Dispite what you hear from the more vocal (and liberal) Canadians, yes there are some of us who consider you Yanks brothers with many of the same values and ideals.

Nah...there's no need to build anything newer and better than the F-15...

Don't even start.

For one thing, Tronic said it with understatement: That exercise has been debated to dust.
For another, you don't know what the hell you're talking about with regard to Cope India 2004.

If you did know what you were talking abot then you'd be dangerously close to trolling.
Either way, consider this a warning.

Please! Do you have a better fighter the same age as the F-15 with the same success?? I think not!!
The F-15 has been a work horse for the U.S. military for decades and still has a undefeated record! So a couple of planes have a few malfunctions! What do you expect from a plane that is twice your age!

I expected it to be replaced with around 500 Raptors instead of 183

I understand the F-22 is a more capable aircraft, but you can only decrease size to a certain point.

I think that low number has to do more with the expense of the F-22 than anything else.

I think he's refering to the large number of Americans that were stranded in Canada when their flights were turned back. Our Airports were overflowing with passenger gets full of Americans who were treated very well and were even taken into peoples homes untill they could return home. We asked nothing in return, if that isn't brotherly what is?
