All you are doing is breaking down the number's of aircraft so much that few if any would be of any effective use.
Splitting the Growler's up is an exercise is futility as within Canada the serve little to no purpose, They are an asset that would show the most promise when deployed abroad. Splitting them up into little subgroups makes command of the unit difficult, training impossible and maintenance extremely costly when you consider rather then having one group of men and women at a single local you need to have 4 different sets of men and women at 4 different locals. None of these deployments would provide any benefit to Canada.
12 Super Hornets is a waste of funds, had they been acquired pre or even early 2010 then they would have been of use but this late in the game it's a waste of funds. It is further waste when the single squadron would actually only have the technical strength of half a squadron when you account for maintenance and training. Good and capable aircraft but pointless when acquired in so few a number.
If a mixed fleet and spread out force was wanted then you would have the asset's assigned to 2 - 3 bases located to the far west, centrally and the far east with 3 squadrons of F-35's, 2 squadrons of Super Hornets and 1 squadron of Growlers. Have one F-35 squadron located at each of the 3 bases, 1 SH squadron located to the West and East and the Growler squadron located centrally.
That said Canada would be better off with the F-35 only, There force is just far too small to allow for the deployment of multiple aircraft types in number's that would make them an asset. With the number's you are proposing it will drive up costs, make training harder and effective maintenance all but impossible for everything bar the F-35's.
