CF-18 Hornet Fighter Jet

Canada selected the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet to replace its aging fleet of CF-104 Starfighters in 1980, and by 1982 the RCAF began taking delivery of its first new fighter jets in 20 years. Eventually, a total of 138 CF-18 Hornets entered service and have since seen combat action in a number of theatres including the Gulf War, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and throughout the middle east.

The inspiration behind our 'CF-18 Hornet Fighter Jet' Art Print

Our CF-18 Hornet Fighter Jet piece features a photo illustration of the iconic aircraft as it rips across the sky. It's set against an aeronautical chart background centered on the southern Alberta region, specifically over CFB Cold Lake. As a former cartographer, I love incorporating maps into my work, especially when they add a layer of relevant interest, such as in this piece where the map geolocates the home bases of the 401, 409, and 410 Tactical Squadrons.

This art print makes a great addition to any aviation buff's collection or collectors of vintage-inspired, modern art décor.
