“Thanks to the rapid response of the Canadian Forces, at no time did the Russian aircraft enter sovereign Canadian airspace,” Dimitri Soudas, Harper’s director of communication said in an email.

Two CF-18 fighters were scrambled from their base in Cold Lake and visually identified the two aircraft about 222 km north of Inuvik, N.W.T. The two aircraft came within 55 kilometres of Canadian soil before turning around, shadowed by the fighter jets.

Unlikely. Its over 1000 nm to Inuvik from the Cool Pool. I expect the Hornets would have been on detachment in Inuvik.
