Hasn't anyone thought about the implications of what the government admits to doing?
Forget that they factually, deliberately, stopped transmitting Mode-S/ADS-B to hide their "training" operations over Ottawa; what is their data retention policy, on the data they collected from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Let's review the flight data that shows the arrival of American-registered N330TT #A3978A call sign CAVE033 operated by MAG Aerospace (per contract) from when they arrived in Ottawa on Tuesday January 25, 2022 from Hagerstown, Maryland - immediately before the arrival of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
👇
Now let's review what I think is more realistically actually training in July 2021.
It's the same MAG Aerospace-contracted American-registered N330TT #A3978A ISR plane using no call sign (which is not suspicious). It took off from Hagerstown and flew for 1.5hrs to Ottawa, with… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Have you ever had training in a corporate environment where the trainer needs to come in from outside the organisation?

What happens first thing Monday morning on "Day 1" of any course?
Introductions. Paperwork. Safety briefing. Course outline. That kind of thing;… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-06 (Tuesday)
Leg 1 took off at 9:09 (14:09Z)
Much earlier than Monday, probably because they got the boring stuff out of the way Monday. They landed only an hour later 12:09 (17:09Z) presumably for lunch. They're not animals, and they have visitors.
Leg 2 took off at… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Two days of #CANSOFCOM ISR training over Ottawa - so far - in Sumer 2021 - and not a single gap where their transponder was shut off; isn't that remarkable? Not for training it isn't, of course they wouldn't turn off their transponder for training, it would be completely… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-07 (Wednesday)
Leg 1 departure from CYOW at 08:44 (13:44Z) even earlier because they've got everything covered, this is presumably Day 3 of the training. They landed at 11:42 (16:42Z) because they've got to eat, and pee.
Leg 2 took off at 13:11 (18:11Z) right after… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-08 (Thursday - Day 4)
Leg 1 - Early bird catches the worm, and they are airborne at 08:14 (13:24Z) and land at 10:53 (15:53Z). I guess they really had to pee.
Leg 2 - Took off at 12:14 (17:14Z) - they took an early lunch, and they're back at it. They landed 16:37… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-09 (Friday - Day 5)
What happens on course on Friday?
Maybe finish early? Get to play with the cool/advanced stuff? Does that hold up?
Leg 1 took off at 08:17 (13:17Z) and at 08:32 (13:32Z) after starting to circle Bayshore Shopping Centre they turned off their ADS-B… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-12 (Monday - Day 6?)
Can we tell if this is a continuation of the course that ended its 5th day Friday?
The plane didn't go home for the weekend, BTW, they stayed in Ottawa and enjoyed the nightlife. 😴
They took off at 13:21 (18:21Z) after lunch, and landed 14:43… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-13 (Tuesday - Day 7?)
Because the plane is now regularly breaking Canadian aviation regulations by turning off their ADS-B transponder in flight, the tools we're using are breaking down. ADSBexchange/Dump1090 are having a hard time figuring out which of these legs are… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-14 (Wednesday - Day 8?)
More of the same. They take off, and turn off their transponder, which civilian aircraft are not allowed to do, and re-enable it right before landing.
Leg 1 take-off 08:27(13:27Z) and disappeared at 08:31(13:31Z), reappeared at 10:51(15:51Z) and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2021-07-15 (Thursday - Day 9?)
Leg 1 take-off at 08:22(13:22Z) vanish at 08:24(13:24Z), reappear at 10:54(15:54Z), land at 11:01(16:01Z)
Leg 2 take-off 12:26(17:26Z), vanish 12:30(17:30Z), reappear 13:55(18:55Z), land 14:04(19:04Z)
2021-07-16 (Friday - Day 10?)
Leg 1 take-off at 8:37(13:37Z) transponder off at 08:39(13:39Z), back on at 11:00(16:00Z), landed at 11:05(16:05Z).
Leg 2 took off at ~12:00(17:00Z), landed in to Buffalo NY 13:14(18:14Z), then on to Hagerstown
Notice the return home in 2021… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
That's either one two week course (that's my guess), or two one week courses; it's hard to tell. What isn't hard to tell is reading the Canadian Forces policy regarding their transponder posture, which quite clearly states that domestic training is not secret, and will not be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Showing up mid-week, only flying Thursday/Friday, then travelling home on Saturday broke their routine from the previous 2 week course in 2021. It is not plausible they would fly up in secret, conduct only 2 days of "training" over the convoy, and go home
