“It’s the sound of security.”
That’s how one reporter recently described the unusual presence of NORAD frontline CF-18 fighter jets in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
NORAD is providing aerospace warning and aerospace control during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. It is a role with which NORAD is very familiar, having conducted aerospace warning and aerospace control missions for events such at the presidential inauguration, space shuttle launches and sports events, including the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
