Following news reported in national media from unnamed insider sources, the Canadian government has confirmed that the Boeing F/A-18E Block III Super Hornet has been dropped from the country’s Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP), which is seeking 88 new fighters to replace the Royal Canadian Air Force’s CF-18 and F/A-18 "classic" Hornet fleet.
