I was listening or reading something today, probably, saying that the Canadian military can stock pile parts because they will need so much work done after however flight hours but the military would not actually own the parts until they were installed in the jets. So there could be a part stock piled up here and the US could decide they need it and bam order it to come back even though our jets will need it.
I know I am just an arm chair general but the Saab jets are looking like a better choice than the CF35’s. Sure pilots will need to be trained on a completely new system rather than an updated old system, but the military has not even started the training on the CF35’s
They would need to go down there way too frequently. The pilots do training exercises all over Canada to keep their skills sharp and airports ready, I know there was rumours that they would need to go down south to get maintenance but that just does not make sense with how the Air Force operates and the maintenance schedule the jets require.

The F-35 requires maintenance to be done in the US.
