A F-15C Eagle fighter jet from the 144th Fighter Wing prepares to take off from Thule Air Base, Greenland during North American Aerospace Defense Command’s Arctic air defense exercise, Amalgam Dart 20-05, August 19, 2020. The exercise ran from August 17-21 and ranged from the Beaufort Sea to Thule, Greenland. Amalgam Dart 20-05 provided NORAD the opportunity to hone homeland defense skills as Canadian and U.S. forces operated together in the Arctic. A bi-national Canadian and American command, NORAD employs a network of space-based, aerial and ground-based sensors, air-to-air refueling tankers, and fighter aircraft, controlled by a sophisticated command and control network to deter, detect and defend against aerial threats that originate outside or within North American airspace. Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 fighter aircraft, CP-140 long-range patrol aircraft , and a CC-150T air refueler; as well as U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter aircraft, KC-10 refueler, and C-17 transport aircraft all participated in the exercise.
