The Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Demo Jet is a symbol of national pride and engineering excellence. Rarely seen but widely admired, it inspires Canadians and aviation fans alike. Its custom livery features an artistic maple leaf, Canada’s emblem. Unveiled during the Canada150 celebrations in 2017, this CF-18 marked a milestone in the nation’s aviation story. Reaching 1,127 mph (1,814 km/h), its bold look matches its power. At such speeds it can flash by with only a gleam of its polished finish, a testament to the RCAF’s devotion to beauty and function.
