This is… huh.

New Avro Arrow design pitched to feds as alternative for F-35s: report

In short… the f-35 is so hideously expensive that portions of the Canadian government and industry wanted to cancel it and restart the old CF-105 Arrow, a plane from the 1950’s.

While the Arrow was undoubtedly an awesome machine half a century ago, it seems like it’d be out of place today… basically a MiG 25 with a maple leaf.
