		Finally, in 1975, CF Air Command was formed, giving Canada an identifiable air force again.

	CHAPTER VI - THE AIR CAMPAIGN
		Air superiority fighters, such as the F-15C, and air-to-ground aircraft, such as the F-15E, were based relatively close to the Iraqi border, where they had the greatest reach and were near long-duration CAP stations over Iraq.
		Air superiority, or the dominance of a group of aircraft in a given time and space without prohibitive interference by the opposing force, was effectively gained in the first hours of the war.
		Air interdiction attacks were planned to reduce and slow resupply for the forces in the KTO, which were almost totally dependent on outside sources for supplies, including food and water.

		He was proud of the Canadian contingent in the U.S. Air Force and of the entire UN air force efforts in general.

	Canadian Defence Policy - CASR - Modernizing the CF18 [Part 7] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Joint Helmet Mounted Cuing System – JHMCS – is a joint venture between Rockwell Collins and Israel’s Elbit Systems.[1] This JHMCS is intended for close-range air- to-air combat and is designed to take full advantage of the new, highly-manoeuverable, short range air-to-air missiles (AAM) now entering service with western air forces.
		The current CF short-range AAM (the infrared-guided AIM-9 Sidewinder) relies upon gaining an infrared ‘lock’ (albeit, with a back-up optical target detector) on an opponent.
		If CF Air Command acquires the JHMCS and a new short range AAM (as DND has planned) the upgraded CF18 will be well able to deal with more modern opponents in close air-to-air combat for years to come.
