I removed this because it sounds like more of a recruitment line than an encyclopedic statement. Also the above paragraph already states which groups operated as air interceptors during the operation. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.14.12.195|24.14.12.195]] ([[User talk:24.14.12.195|talk]]) 07:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The History section needs work. |

"The operation has cost more than $27 billion, according to a recent report compiled by the Congressional Research Service, but has not necessarily helped to prevent any additional horrific attacks on the US, such as a repeat of the Sept. 11 attacks." The article up to this point has described the operation as protecting both the US and Canada. Could this sentence read "North America" instead of US, or has the operation prevented attacks on Canada? |
|||
The article introduces the idea of a blip as "one of many possible solutions with the lingering difficulties in the mission"; however, the only problem that the article discusses is that "The aircraft maintainers, or mechanics, are currently "overworked and underpaid"." Also, if it is one of many solutions, why is only it being mentioned? |
