No, but there are q's in Yellowknife, not sure if any 18's are deployed there right now. In the past there were always jets deployed for this kind of thing.
These guys could easily come from Cold Lake, intercept and then land in Inuvik for fuel. They wouldn't be able to do the round trip, and they wouldn't be able to go full burner on the intercept, but they can make pretty good time while conserving. If they start in Yellowknife they can go full on to intercept and land in Inuvik.
Helps if you have air to air available but I don't think they are doing that right now. Things have been pretty tame for years, but with these fishing trips being more frequent maybe the assets are being allocated.
