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.

The routes are such in the pacific that flying over the north pacific, planes are basically flying over the north pole OR close to Alaska, planes flying south have the Hawaii islands plus others enroute.
