Why don't we figure out how to buy a helicopter first?

Could be 5th if you consider the French territory of St. Pierre & Miquelon, and also consider Greenland (Denmark) part of North America.

Well, after the USAF, USN, and the US Army helicopter fleet, which one are you putting them ahead of?

Are we also going to start counting State Air Guards?  If yes, RCAF will be around 55th.  We're probably stronger than the Vermont and New Hampshire Air Guards.

Don't forget about the Commemorative Air Force. It has heavy bombers and jet fighters. Most are a little long in the tooth but hey..

The only Gripen image that I could poach in RCAF livery.

I do believe that if I ever saw one hurtling through the sky, I just might sport some wood.  Saw a Mirage doing barrel rolls through some clouds a few years back and I'm still enchanted.  :D
