Exactly I should have been clearer about it. The Curtis P-40 family. To me the shark mouth just fits the aircraft configuration a little better than any other. For an obsolete plane they sure did a great job in WWII.

Nor does our navy make a practice out of it. The crew of one helo did it on a long deployment just for fun. Sort of a morale builder.

That I completly agree with you. I also think the Stukas that I have seen with it look pretty cool with it also.

Well in a way I don't blame you. The fact that it was Canadian makes it cool by default, quite naturally.
But admittedly, it looked a bit foolish.
