This multirole fighter jet, introduced in the 1980s, has been the backbone of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s tactical air power for decades. Known for its agility, versatility, and advanced technology, the CF-188 has played a vital role in defending Canadian airspace and contributing to international missions around the globe.

Designed for speed and precision, the CF-188 Hornet combines cutting-edge avionics with formidable weaponry, embodying the spirit of innovation and readiness that defines Canada’s air defense capabilities. Beyond its technical achievements, the Hornet represents the dedication, skill, and bravery of the RCAF pilots and crews who operate this iconic aircraft with unwavering commitment.

Every element of the coin’s design reflects the sleek power and dynamic performance of this modern fighter, paying tribute to Canada’s continued leadership in aerospace innovation.
