NW Territory
6 Bear bombers from EE flew into NC airspace. 3 groups of two Bears flew inland about 100 miles before turning around. They came in low, over NC rose to 23,000 feet. Turned on all their radars, electronic jamming equipment. Disruptive to all cell phone, TV, satellite communication for 15 minutes. They turned around turned off every thing as they descended altitude to increase speed and make fuel consumption higher for any jets that might try to intercept them. Two flew over town of Anderson River raking hundreds of pictures of the harbor and runway. Captured engineers out their with construction equipment.
. Rumor has it that the old whaling harbor, commercial bulk transport hub has had work being upgraded, improved. New buildings. Lengthen runway, add a second runway with hangers. A bunch of buildings.
2 Bear flew down the eastern border with Alaska near Erik Nielsen White Horse International Airport. The facilities that had been used for Canadian Air Force has seen improvements. Aircraft bunkers, hangers, fueling, communication, barracks, etc.

Those two flew in 200 miles at low altitude the entire time. They were mirrored across the border with Alaska by 2 F-22 Raptors. The US pilots communicated with their air controllers, which did forward info to NC Air Force.

Distance of White Horse Intl Air Port to Cold Lake is 1009 miles.
Moose Jaw is 1699 miles away, almost fly over Cold Lake.
White a Horse is about 600 miles to Anderson Naval Base.
These are big distances, similar to North Africa.

why are the EE bears flying over a RCAF station thst has not been used since the 1960s?

CF-14s from the Arctic Patrol squadron in Yellowknife has also taken off to intercept those Bears.

Mech,
You may want to consider forward deploying to the Inuvik airport.
It is a well placed FOB in the correct area.

The Inuvik Airport is unfortunately not well suited to store a whole squadron, too small.

The Yellowknife international Airport is much better suited for a FOB, as there is a existing RCAF site that we can use.

Though Mick I could reactivate the old RCAF Station in Whitehorse Yukon.

The RCAF Station in Whitehorse has been Reactivated, so that no more Bears enters Canada's Arctic.

The RCAF Station Whitehorse will be home to the Arctic Patrol wing flying Surplus CF-86 Sabres and CF-14 Tomcats.

Mech,
The 'Forward operating base' will not need to store a full Squadron and should not.
Just 2-6 fighters fueled and armed sitting on QRA (quick reaction alert) in the CORRECT location, ready to intercept an intruder before they get to your airspace.

Yukon/Yellowknife is only half way to where you need to be! Unless you are looking at Eski?

PS. Inuvik is a FOB check out Google map/sat.

Inuvik
Indeed, thatâ€™s the forward deployed base one might need.

After doing some research on the Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport, I may have to Agree, it can be used as a FOB for the RCAF, I'll send in at least 6 CF-86 Sabres from Arctic Patrol Wing to establish themselves in Inuvik.

Sabreâ€™s??? Why?
Is NC a glorified 3rd world military?

MechCommander · Post by **MechCommander** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 10:44 pm

The Arctic patrol wing is primarily a volunteer force formed to protect Canadaâ€™s arctic region from invaders, they mainly utilized Surplus Military aircraft which includes fighters to patrol the area, so their inventory would include CF-14s, CF-86s and maybe CF-5s.
