This article seems pretty thin to me. I think more should be added on the context of the exercises, along with sections on the units and equipment employed as well as logistics (i.e., which bases were used, etc.)
As a minor point, the US and Canadian air forces are not "air forces of the North American Aerospace Defense Command"
File:VigEagleRusCAN.jpg - this photo has an incorrect license. It's credited to a member of DAirPA, which is the Director Air Public Affairs for the RCAF. Parsecboy (talk) 20:48, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LavaBaron, are you there? If you do not respond soon, Parsecboy may have to fail the article. Display name 99 (talk) 22:34, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Display name 99, see here, LavaBaron is out of town at the moment but should be back next week. We'll handle the review then. Parsecboy (talk) 11:47, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parsecboy, thank you for the clarification. Display name 99 (talk) 20:55, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LavaBaron, it looks like you're back - can you take a look at the review? Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 20:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parsecboy - article updated to incorporate recommendations. LavaBaron (talk) 14:39, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found this article gives a bit more details on the cancelled 2014 exercises. I don't know if airforce-technology.com has been vetted at all for reliability, but presumably that information is available elsewhere if we decide the site is not good enough.
The citation for the cancelled 2014 exercises mentions that Japan would have taken part for the first time - this should be included as well.
This article gives some details on the 2013 exercises.
Probably worth a {{distinguish}} hatnote with Operation Vigilant Eagle (and vice versa over there). Parsecboy (talk) 19:51, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parsecboy - I made these changes. On the airforce-technology reference, I found KTUU-TV as the original source of the report and cited it instead so there would be not future question as to the RS. LavaBaron (talk) 02:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
