It's not an invasion: UN-marked aircraft only in city for maintenance
North Bay Nugget ^ | February 21, 2022 | Jennifer Hamilton-McCharles

The City of North Bay garnered national attention on social media over the weekend for aircraft spotted at Jack Garland Airport.

A video posted on Twitter and TikTok of two United Nations airplanes parked at Voyageur Airways at Jack Garland Airport caused a flurry of speculation and conspiracy theories.

The video, speculation and possible theories became so popular, North Bay was trending on Twitter for the last three days with people speculating why they believe the planes were in North Bay.

Thousands of people, including politicians, journalists, North Bay residents and conspiracy theorists weighed in providing possible explanations.

Many believe it was to transport police officers or UN troops to help break up the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

“UN plane spotted in North Bay, Ontario – appears to have been there for at least a day. I wonder where all those cops in Ottawa came from?” posted Julia.

Andrew Lawton of The Andrew Lawton Show told his followers to please stop sending him photos of the United Nations planes in North Bay.

“This has nothing to do with the trucker convoy protests. North Bay is home to Voyageur Airways, an Ontario company that provides charters and maintenance services for the UN.”

Powassan Mayor Peter McIsaac tried to clear up the miscommunication and jumped on the Twitter train telling the public “North Bay trending and people are losing their paranoid conspiracies and filled minds.”

The Nugget was contacted by several people Saturday and Sunday asking why UN planes were in the city.

The Nugget reached out to Voyageur Airways Sunday evening for an explanation.

“I can confirm that the aircraft has been in North Bay for several weeks for a routine aircraft maintenance heavy check event at our Voyageur North Bay facility,” said Melchior Schori, manager of employee and corporate communications.

“Voyageur employs approximately 220 people in North Bay, providing aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services for a global customer base. I trust this will clarify the misleading claims.”

By Monday morning the UN planes couldn’t be seen from Airport Road.

Should be easy to clear up. Provide the flight logs/manifest.

Because the implications otherwise are"profound".

Yup. That’s what the citizen correspondent noticed as well. Fascinating, eh?

Try to get logs and manifest, bet you can’t.

Anyone talk to any of the airport people or have they all been told to shut up and not worry about anything they saw?

Easy to track planes these days. Easy to find out where it went.

Easy to see where it goes and if anyone gets on it.

I wonder if anyone has seen or can get a copy of the maintenance records.

If they were down for maintenance, how’d they fly away?

They probably did bring in enforcers from somewhere else. At this point why would you believe Trudeau? Also, I have been waiting but it appears there is no huge covid outbreak among the protesters... interesting. Middle of cold and flu season, close quarters, runny noses in the cold... and no outbreak.

“North Bay is home to Voyageur Airways, an Ontario company that provides charters and maintenance services for the UN.”

So if they brought in UN foreigners, that is exactly where they would land. And has anyone confirmed that tail number’s moves on Flight Tracker? Or are it’s movements hidden from public view as I suspect?

Also nice how they painted a big black stripe over identifiers on the other plane. That indicates someone really being honest.

"North Bay is home to Voyageur Airways, an Ontario company that provides charters and maintenance services for the UN.”

Why does the UN need a charter and maintenance service hidden four hours away from Ottawa way out in the middle of nowhere?

A town of about 50,000 conveniently located in a remote enough part of the province that little will be noticed, yet about 4 hours north of Toronto and West of Ottawa where the best highways connecting middle of nowhere, Ontario, with the populated sections intersect.

The most logical place in Canada for a company winning a UN contract to be located. Maybe they have a contract with the CIA and the CCP as well.

People on the ground there are also wondering if the hundreds prisoners they are releasing are now cops. That info is contained in this cop intimidation video.

BS! They flew in the Gestapo brown shirts to Ottawa to bash the heads of the peaceful protesters! I guarantee you they are in the mix with the rest of the police officers teaching them how it’s done! Trudeau and that bitch were pleading with the UN to get involved from the get-go!

I'm not a pilot, but I always thougbt that the pilots had to file a flight path / route that's public knowledge. So just in case rescuer's know where to look if $hit hits the fan.
