The CF-18 Demo Team facebook page is teasing a special paint scheme for next year's demo jet. They said there will be a sneak peek tomorrow!

New paint!

Interesting, certainly not lacking for flash. The scheme looks a bit busy, but will probably look a lot better in the paint than on screen. I do like the tail designs and the digital graphics on the LERXes, but what's going on with the false canopy? Looks like a rolled-up knit sweater from here
