As much as I (and the rest of my countryman) love cracking jokes at your expense, I don’t know what we would do without you guys. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Operation Yellow Ribbon was commenced by Canada to handle the diversion of civilian airline flights in response to the September 11 attacks in 2001. Canada’s goal was to ensure that potentially destructive air traffic be removed from United States airspace as quickly as possible, and away from potential U.S. targets, and instead place these aircraft on the ground in Canada, mostly at military and civilian airports in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and British Columbia (and also several in New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec) where their destructive potential could be better contained and neutralized. As none of the aircraft proved to be a threat, Canada and Canadians subsequently undertook to play host to the many people aboard the aircraft during the ensuing delay in reaching their destinations.
Operation Yellow Ribbon had many consequences for Canadians. After the initial task of diverting the flights was over, thousands of stranded passengers and flight crews had to be housed and fed until the crisis was over. During the diversion of flights, some airports, including Vancouver International, were inundated with hundreds of telephone calls from members of the public and the corporate community offering their support. In Ottawa, SitCen staff were also inundated with calls from airports, air carriers, the media, and the general public. On average, SitCen staff received an estimated 5,000 calls a day.
Enjoy your poutine and Timmy’s today, Canada. You guys deserve it.

Strange that a C-5 was not allowed to land in the U.S.

I’ve read the accounts of the crew from the Malév (Hungarian Airlines - sadly went bankrupt since) flight, which was bound for New York at the time of the attacks, and was diverted to Gander. They spoke very highly of the city and its residents - althoght they had to accommodate the same amount of people that lived in Gander, everyone was very helpful, and everything went very smoothly.
This may be a strange thing to say, but the logistics of the whole effort in the wake of the attacks never ceases to amaze me.

T-tail. The -124 has the horizontal stabilizer down by the fuselage.

The logisitics is definitely nothing to scoff at. It was a multi-organizational effort inside of Canada, and even combined with the FAA in diverting the aircraft, so it was a multi-national effort as well.
Huge, huge, huge undertaking.

By golly, you’re right. I guess “closed” means closed.

I wonder if the French-Canadians (Quebec, in general) celebrate the day. Since they seem hell- bent on seceeding from Canada. I must admit that of all the Canadians I have met over the years, they are not particularly friendly to outsiders.

Could have still been considered non-essential traffic. My memory is a little fuzzy - and my logic might be as well - but when the FAA banned all non-essential air traffic, it could have meant non-essential military traffic as well. And if that’s a C-5, then it’s probably a correct assumption to make as well.

C-5 has a T tail.
