๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The Royal Canadian Air Force participated in #ExREDFLAG 22-1 at #EielsonAFB, Alaska at the end of April. Did we see that when it happened?

The pictures weren't posted until today because OPSEC? ๐Ÿค”

I don't recall the #RCAF mentioning it at all; do you?

#401Sqn flies out of #4WingColdLake, we should see a refueller between the Alaska and Cold Lake around there. Possibly additional logistics flights for support staff.

FYI, I often do these threads without looking up if I can find something so you can see how the sausage is made.
If I start looking for where RCAF tankers were on 2022-04-01, we see the return flight by #4WingColdLake fighters from California, where they spend most of the winter because Cold Lake is.. well.. it's Cold, yo!

Notice they're using AR-4B to refuel on 2022-04-02.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ As part of today's #NORAD exercise, the part of the tanker will be played by #RCAF CC-150T 15004, now taxiing at #CYOW, showing the game is afoot.

iirc they used a Learjet as the unknown potentially hostile aircraft to intercept last time...

It was a Top Aces jet last year(?), so I'd guess this exercise is using the same contract vehicle.

Do I already have a list of Top Aces planes tho...

Well well, we have a gaggle of Top Aces fighters taking off from Bagotville. CHETA callsigns.
