🇨🇦✈️ I know the Canadian Armed Forces don't ever take a day off, and this weekend is no exception.
#RCAF
🇨🇦✈️ At least two #RCAF CH-148 Cyclones have been active over Halifax and Shearwater in the past day.

#CFBShearwater #12WingShearwater
🇨🇦✈️ One of two #RCAF-leased King Airs (C-GSYC) were maybe making a VIP transport between Winnipeg, Sault Ste. Marie, and Trenton. I call these the shadow VIP transport fleet, b/c they seem to ferry the brass around (incl #NORAD). #CFC1648 #C076A3
🇨🇦✈️ Only one #RCAF CC-177 (177702) has been up in the last day, and they flew to... #MacDillAFB 🇺🇸? 🤷‍♂️

#CFC3613 #C2AFC7
🇨🇦✈️ #RCAF CC-130H 130333, callsign #RSCU333 (#C2AF59) was operating over Lake Erie presumably conducting #SAR operations near Port Dover, near Turkey Point.

Maybe Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton will post something later.

🇨🇦✈️ #RCAF CC-130H 130343 callsign #RSCU343 was (presumably) conducting #SAR operations over the Gulf of St. Lawrence today

Perhaps Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Halifax will update us on that later.

#C2AFB3

🇨🇦✈️ Two of the deployable #RCAF CC-130Js are busy over the Middle East

🇨🇦✈️ Two #RCAF CC-144D Challenger VIP transports have been active in the past day; one back and forth to #NORAD HQ, the other to London Luton Airport 🇬🇧, and on to Seville 🇪🇸.

h/t @SillsSpencer for the sad news; explains the #SAR operations over Lake Erie.

It would be swell if @JohnMooneyST
influenced his editors to correct the headline at least. No #RuAF 🇷🇺 aircraft were in Irish airspace at any time. That's misinformation at best, #disinformation at worst; they were in international airspace the whole time thetimes.co.uk/article/concer…
Journalists are regularly fed bad info by their trusted sources who want to mislead them and spin the story, so I can hardly blame @JohnMooneyST who did his due diligence. The Flight Information Region #FIR is the correct term, the international airspace controlled by Irish ATC.
Sovereign Irish airspace extends 12 Nautical Miles out to sea, the flight information region #FIR extends hundreds of miles out to sea. #NORAD is much more diligent in explaining that difference, as they do in the linked PDF below, from a few years back.

Oh yes, I remember @mikercarpenter, he was spreading #disinformation about the Russian Open Skies Treaty-certified plane spying on Chicago back in 2019, when they were in transit on their way to Cali, not taking pics at all.

He blocked me b/c I remembered that.

#OpenSkiesTreaty
It's like a trip down memory lane! I wonder what #disinformation @mikercarpenter has been spreading about the Open Skies Treaty since? Well he locked his account so you can't find out. Too bad for you.

#OpenSkiesTreaty

I remember it like it was yesterday.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 #Russia|n Navy Pacific Fleet Project 864 (NATO: Vishnya-class) Kareliya|Карелия is operating near #Hawaii, monitoring missile tests, and has been for well over a week, per open sources.

Neither #NORAD or #USNavy tell us anything until we tell them; normal.

This deserves a blog post, maybe a YouTube video, and has been said many many times before, but I'll try to make it concise.

The difference between #Propaganda, #Misinformation, and #Disinformation, in a bite size Twitter thread.
Misinformation is just a mistake.

Me: Hey Bob, Alice likes cheesecake.
Alice: I hate cheesecake.
Me: My bad, I was misinformed, I thought you LOVED cheesecake.

Telling Bob that Alice loved cheesecake had no ultietior motive, there was no malice, it was just a "whoops".
Disinfo is intentional misinfo; I know Alice hates cheesecake.

Me: Hey Bob, for her birthday, you should really get Alice a cheesecake, it's her favourite

(Bob gets a cheesecake and ruins Alice's birthday)

Me: Mission accomplished!

*Intentionally* feeding ppl #misinfo = lying

Let's review what a fact is, what a Top Secret-classified source might be, what a Secret-classified intelligence report is, what misinformation is, and what disinformation is.
Your car is parked at home. It's location is a fact. You put it there. You may even see it out your windows, it is indisputably true, it is there, it is a fact, there is no tricks, no smoke or mirrors. It's just a #fact.
There is an American spy satellite (ha, many) circling the globe, it's capabilities are Top Secret, and the imagery it takes is Top Secret.

Using imagery from that satellite, a gov't analyst writes a Secret report that states your car is in your driveway, per Top Secret intel.
