Cools pics of the at-sea refueling.

In case anyone was wondering, Canada does have its own at-sea refueling capability, albeit not as large as the one in that pic, but it must not have been available, or felt to be necessary, for this mission.

Speaking as a Canadian, we're glad to be of any assistance we can in this disaster.

True, we have one on the west coast and one on the east coast (HMCS Preserver). Preserver is currently in dry dock in Halifax so it couldn't make the trip. It did respond to provide assistance to Florida in 1992 after hurricane Andrew hit.
