The recent encounter took place near Inuvik, N.W.T., inside what the military dubs its air defence identification zone.Inside the ADIZ? The Russians are indeed getting frisky. We've read reports here of them doing much the same along the borders of the northern NATO countries.

They go into the ADIZ, which is at least 200 miles wide, but not into national airspace, ever. I recall having a radio guide for the protocol to use in these intercepts.
