We gave them our tactical canoes. They have a camo paint job.
Umm I hate to point this out but Canada has never operated F-16s. Perhaps some wire got crossed here and they ment F-18s ( Canadians operate a variant of those) or perhaps they mean training in the training plan where they train new pilots In Harvard2s and hawks to prepare for first flights in the f16.

The Minister further announced that starting next month, in support of Canada’s membership in the F-16 Training Coalition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), we will provide civilian instructors, planes, and support staff contracted from Montreal-based Top Aces Inc. to contribute to Denmark and France’s training efforts. This support is valued at approximately $15 million. Training will begin in February 2024 and will continue into 2025.
Canada is also providing English language training to Ukrainian Air Force personnel at the Canadian Forces Language School. This work will be an important contribution to the mission to equip and enable the AFU with F-16 fighter jets.
