[MilCom] Grounded F-15's cause strain on U.S Air Defenses

[Stephen]

I have zero problem with the Canucks stepping up and flying some sorties.
Grew up around the 25th AD at McChord, and you have always seen both the
American and Canadian flags flying together.

Having said that, I wholeheartedly agree that I regret seeing F-14s in the
boneyard with all this happening.  As if that wasn't enough, I work at a
place where there are old alert hangars which once housed f-89s, f-102s, and
F-106s being used for snowplow storage.  Would love to have a Dart or two up
this way, protecting America old school!

Sad?  Well, we do have two (official) wars ongoing, we've still got
bases all over the globe & after all, NORAD is the North American
Aerospace Defense Command.  We should be happy that somebody else
picks up the ball on occasion.
