But if it is, let me assure you , I'm very familliar with why planes can't be tracked over the oceans, and only mentioned the Atlantic, because I'm not sure with the equivalent to Gander would be in the Pacific.
Although, there are a lot more inhabited Islands in the Pacific than the Atlantic, so I'd be willing to bet Radar coverage is Much better for plance going from the west coast to Asia.

I know for a fact that a flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong... they basically fly up along the coast, then near the Aleutian Islands, and then down the coast of Russia, fly over Japan and Taiwan... so in that sense, coverage is quite a bit better.
