U.S. military aircraft using Canadian airspace to refuel en route to Middle East

American military aircraft have been using Canadian airspace to refuel on their way to the Middle East, backed by a long-standing NORAD agreement that does not require the U.S. to ask permission from Canada to do so.

On March 12, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET, two KC-135T Stratotankers – large American refuelling aircraft – were observed overhead by residents of Moose Factory, Ont., along with several other aircraft, the make and model of which could not be identified from images captured by a resident of the town.
